No Health Insurance, No Clue I'm trying to return to college this fall, but I have recently moved and have no health insurance, no doctor, etc. etc. I have no clue where to start in order to try to get back on medication that seemed to work for me when I was in high school. (which was 5 years ago!) How do I start the process? Quote Last edited by Anni : 14 Jul 2009 @ 9:21 AM. Reason:

Financing Treatment Since you don't have insurance, you might want to check out helpingpatients.org for patient assistance programs. Also, visit the ADDitude Directory to find a health professional in your area who deals with attention deficit disorder. Hopefully that will get you started. Good luck, Dena Quote
