How to read this comparison

  • "Insurance accepts" means the service bills commercial insurance for some plans. Coverage and out-of-pocket vary substantially. Always verify benefits.
  • "State-restricted" means stimulant prescribing is limited to specific US states for that service. Check service availability for your state.
  • "⚠ Paused" means the service has stopped or significantly restricted controlled-substance prescribing — usually due to regulatory action. Status can change.
  • "Cash-pay only" means the service does not bill insurance. Some patients submit superbills for out-of-network reimbursement separately.
  • Wait times are self-reported by services or estimated from public information; actual times vary.
