No, I provide my patients with a high level of personalized care. In order for me to offer top confidentiality and quality care, I do not work with insurance companies directly. However, I can provide an itemized receipt or superbill that may allow you to get reimbursement from your insurance company if you have out-of-network benefits. I accept all major credit, debit, and HSA/FSA cards for payment. Payment is processed at the start of your appointment.

I see adults ages 18-60 years old, who live in MN, and either suspect or have confirmed ADHD. That means that sometimes I see young adults still in college and figuring out their academics or career. Sometimes I see women that have had their concerns be dismissed by their primary care doctor as perimenopause or just depression/anxiety. And sometimes I see individuals that are tired of the medical system and don’t want to wait 6-12 months to get in to see a psychiatrist. Regardless of who you are, I don’t have a waitlist.

Initial ADHD evaluation is $500 and includes in-person comprehensive ADHD clinical interview (60 min), intake forms, ADHD testing, and review of symptom log. Visit wraps up with clearly discussing diagnosis and treatment recommendations. If indicated, your visit includes a 30-day prescription.
Follow up care is $200 and consists of a 30-minute telehealth visit and 30-day prescription.
If the cost gives you pause, I understand. I encourage you to consider the value of investing in yourself. Effective ADHD treatment can help you reclaim your time, energy, and productivity in ways that truly pay off. Untreated or undertreated ADHD can take a toll on your time and potential.

Both. Free initial consultation calls are done virtually. ADHD evaluation is completed in person in my Edina office. Monthly follow ups are scheduled via secure telehealth.
-
No, I do not complete paperwork for short-term or long-term disability or in any cases where there is secondary financial gain for the patient as it does not align with my values to serve patients who are taking ownership of their health.

Yes, I prescribe stimulants for ADHD treatment; however, I do not prescribe any additional controlled substances.
ADHD medications fall into two categories: stimulants and non-stimulants. Stimulants are a class of controlled medications that are often used to treat ADHD that must be used as directed. While stimulant medications for ADHD are highly effective, they are also Schedule II controlled substances. ADHD Alliance of MN is committed to using medications as FDA approved and avoiding risks of polypharmacy. For these reasons, the following controlled medications will not be prescribed and will need to be discontinued prior to working with me:
Narcotics/opioids (schedule II)
Benzodiazepines (schedule IV)
Testosterone (schedule III)
Ketamine (schedule III)
Muscle relaxers (schedule IV)
I do not start or continue these medications for my patients. If you are already prescribed one or more of these medications by a previous provider, it will be tapered and discontinued. Should this policy not meet your expectations, please continue your care with an alternative provider whose policies feel more comfortable for you.
Other substances of concern:
Marijuana: use with caution. Do not combine with stimulants.
Alcohol: use with caution. Do not combine with stimulants.
Tobacco/nicotine: use with caution. Do not combine with stimulants.
Although I do not routinely perform urine drug screens, I reserve the right to request one if there is suspicion about inappropriate drug use. All patients are assumed to be abstaining from all illicit substances and must disclose any such use to avoid dangerous health risks.

There are 4 key factors:
First is exclusivity. Dr. Prisacari has strict boundaries on the size of her practice, which guarantees that she can devote ample time and energy into providing each patient the highest quality of her attention and expertise.
Second is high standard of care. Because ADHD Alliance is an out-of-network practice, your treatment is determined by you and Dr. Prisacari, not an insurance company.
Third is accessibility. Appointment times are flexible and convenient, including evenings.
Fourth is privacy. There are no office assistants, so your care is between you and Dr. Prisacari. No one will else know you are a patient. Appointments are booked directly with Dr. Prisacari. Your information is never released without your written request.

Yes, you found the right space. Whether you are a high achieving individual that wasn’t disruptive in school but are noticing academics/work performance slip, or a mom that was holding it all together *just barely*, running on fumes, and found my site from a late-night Google search, this is the place.
Every new patient evaluation includes validated ADHD structured clinical interview, a 10-day symptom log, and computer-based ADHD testing.
While not required to make an ADHD diagnosis, a neuropsychological evaluation may be helpful in some cases. I can provide referrals to trusted professionals in the Twin Cities region.
On this call, Dr. Prisacari will discuss your background, share a bit more about her practice, and together determine the next best steps for your treatment needs.
