Ok,
so i kinda figured that it is pretty much impossible to get prescription online.
How much total money would it cost to get prescription?

I have basic insurace plan with blue cross,
do i just make an appointment with a doctor,
and pay the doctor's visit? how much would be a doctor's visit?
is prescription included on doctor's visit fee?

I heard that all i gotta pay for is 1. doctor visit fee 2. the medication.
is that correct?
some people told me that it is a cheap process of getting prescribed,
and some people told me that it is so much money to ger prescription,
which one is correct?

I am sorry, I am new here, so i dunno many of the common senses in adderall.
Please help,

Have you been diagnosed yet? I had to jump through those hoops and then went to an MD who prescribed Adderall based on the info my psychologist sent. I don't know what the norm is...

Call your insurance provider. They will be able to clearly inform you about your coverage and costs. And this way you won't have to bring up the topic at work, or your in-house benefits representative.

I am fortunate to have good coverage. So I don't need referrals, and I usualy only need to pay a $15.00 copay for the office visit and an additional $15.00 for each prescription. So Adderall costs me $30.00 per month. I think without any insurance the medication alone is a around $200.00 or more , if I'm not mistaken.

Well, for starters, a visit with a shirnk will run from about $150 - $200. I would call call BSBC and find out what provider you can see, and what percentage they will cover. They may want to test you for ADD, not sure how much that will cost you. As for the drug its self, for regualr generic Adderall, the price vary's greatly from pharmacy to pharmacy, again, you need to find out if you have a Rx co pay or what. Getting on Adderall is no joke, and no offence, but it seems to me like perhaps you might be jumping the gun a bit....:faint:
