This is so crazy to me. Many mental health places near me won‘t even take insurance. I got an estimate on getting tested for ADHD the other day at 5k. This was after the year wait to even hear back.
I had the same problem with my provider that tested my children, the provider recently stopped taking insurance so they quoted me 11000 dollars to do an autism/ADHD battery of tests so I had to decline, I need to eventually get back around to calling around and see if I can find some luck
At that point, would going to mexico be better? I mean, goddamn, 5k. I got mine done for the equivalent of 500usd.
I lucked out and happen to be going for my Master‘s degree. The University had a trainee do it for only 500 usd. I have my suspicions the other place (with the quote) may be an extreme example, but it’s still insane
