Navigating the ADHD Medication Shortage

Our Expert Tips

3 Hidden Reasons Behind the Frustration

1.  Concealed Supplies Pharmacies don't display real-time supply information to patients or doctors.
 

2. No Transfers —  when the medicine is out of stock, the patient must ask their doctor to send a new prescription to a Different Pharmacy. 
 

3. Insurance Obstacles —  Insurance Companies simply don't Prioritize the Patient.  Prior Authorizations and Hidden Obstacles are designed to delay your care.
