ADHD Financial Assistance & Resources

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.

FAQs about ADHD financial assistance

Medically reviewed by Chad ShafferMD

How much does ADHD medication cost?

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.

Are ADHD meds covered by insurance?

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.

What is the cheapest ADHD medication?

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).

Can I save money on supplements for ADHD?

Yes—if your provider writes a prescription for them. Common supplements include omega-3s, zinc, iron, magnesium, vitamin D3, L-carnitine, NAC, and ginkgo biloba. Ask your provider before starting any supplement, as some can interact with ADHD medications and make them less effective.

Are government benefits available for people with ADHD?

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.

Can you get financial aid for ADHD?

Yes. Nonprofits and advocacy groups may offer grants or scholarships for those with ADHD, including the following:
