Understanding ADHD in Children

What is ADHD?

Attention‑Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. For school-aged children, it can interfere with learning, social interaction, and behavior at home. 

Why child therapy matters for ADHD

Medication plays a role, but therapy—especially for executive functioning, emotional regulation and peer/social skills—is critical. Therapy helps children build skills rather than solely relying on pills.

How Blue Cross Blue Shield Supports ADHD Child Therapy

Coverage Basics

Most BCBS plans include behavioral health services. For example, many BCBS portfolios cover ADHD testing and treatment under outpatient mental-health benefits.
→ Tip: To verify coverage, check the “Behavioral Health” section on your BCBS member portal or call the number on your card.

In-network vs Out-of-network

When a provider is “in-network” with BCBS this reduces your out-of-pocket costs. We are a participating provider with BCBS.

Prior-authorization & medical necessity

BCBS may require documentation showing the service is medically necessary (for example, therapy sessions to mitigate ADHD impairing function).
