I'm paying for the low deductible insurance at my company (higher cost, supposed to be better benefits). I made an appointment for diagnostic assessment at the beginning of the year, their next available appointment was SEPTEMBER 30. They called me yesterday with the estimated cost to me after insurance (I mean nice that they do that but you'll see why...) It's going to cost me $800.

Yeah ok. Guess I'll just remain self-diagnosed.

A little late to this but, depending on your goals for obtaining an official diagnosis, you may not need to get an assessment. When I was diagnosed I had originally started seeing a therapist who referred me to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist asked me some questions and diagnosed me through an interview and was able to prescribe based on that. I'm sure this varies between states.

Eventually I had to go through diagnostic testing, but only to get testing accommodations for school.
