New here (from germany) looking for help with health insurance for students in New York (USA)

Hello dear forum! My name is Paula and I am just over 50 years old. I live in germany. I was diagnosed with ADHD almost 15 years ago. The reason I am writing here is that my daughter, who is 25 years old and was diagnosed with ADHD and giftedness in elementary school, has gone to the US (New York) to study for several months. Does anyone have experience with health insurance and coverage for ADHD medication (she takes Elvanse here)? Does anyone know if a specialist is required for the prescription? She has a certificate from her psychiatrist here and permission from the health department to take controlled substances to the US. If I’m in the wrong place, I apologize—please let me know where I should post my question. Thank you, Paula

Hi @Paula and a warm welcome, I can’t help you, but maybe @UlBre or @SneedleDeeDoo have any ideas?

Hey! Many thanks for your answer! Bye, Paula

Dear Paula, I am very sorry, but I do not have a clue about this. But it would be great if you could give an update if you found out about it…
