Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions in the U.S., affecting more than 6 million children and many adults. Treating ADHD often involves medication, which can be pricey. On average, prescription ADHD medications can cost $120 to $560 per month without insurance. But there are ways to make treatment more affordable, including with SingleCare, which offers free prescription coupons to help you save at the pharmacy.

Without insurance, monthly costs for ADHD meds can range from $100 for generics to more than $300 for brand names, according to SingleCare prescription fill data. Prices depend on the drug, dose, and pharmacy.
Many generic stimulant meds, like amphetamine-dextroamphetamine, are covered by most insurance plans. Brand-name drugs often require prior authorization and may come with higher copays. Non-stimulants like Strattera or Qelbree might not be covered or may cost more.
The cheapest ADHD treatment option may be using generic blood pressure medication like clonidine (about $20 for 30, 0.1 mg tablets without insurance) or guanfacine (about $40 for 30, 1 mg tablets without insurance). However, ADHD would be an off-label use of these medications, so insurance may not cover it, and your healthcare provider may prefer to stick with meds specifically approved for ADHD treatment.
The most affordable FDA-approved ADHD medications are generic stimulants, like generic Ritalin (about $100 for 60, 20 mg tablets without insurance or $23 with SingleCare) and generic Adderall (about $125 for 60, 20 mg tablets without insurance or $27 with SingleCare).

Possibly. Medicaid may cover ADHD treatment for eligible individuals. Children may also qualify for services through an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). Some adults with severe ADHD may be eligible for disability benefits.
