- Abstract
Objective: To characterize provider types delivering outpatient care overall and through telehealth to U.S. adults with ADHD. Method: Using employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) and Medicaid claims, we identified enrollees aged 18 to 64 years who received outpatient care for ADHD in 2021. Billing provider codes were used to tabulate the percentage of enrollees receiving ADHD care from 10 provider types overall and through telehealth. Results: Family practice physicians, psychiatrists, and nurse practitioners/psychiatric nurses were the most common providers for adults with ESI, although the distribution of provider types varied across states. Lower percentages of adults with Medicaid received ADHD care from physicians. Approximately half of adults receiving outpatient ADHD care received ADHD care by telehealth. Conclusion: Results may inform the development of clinical guidelines for adult ADHD and identify audiences for guideline dissemination and education planning.
