That would only be possible on the paid portion of HealthTap. Stimulants are controlled substances and finding a local neurologist that is actively treating ADHD in the community will help in getting the referral to a doc that that will be able to consider stimulants in your case.

A HT Pay site may offer this direct service. Some health care plans will only pay for services when one of their preferred providers do the referral.
