New ADHD Therapies Make Splash, Meet Payer Skepticism

Editor’s note: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Ehave, Inc. is the manufacturer of EndeavorRx. The digital therapeutic device is made by Akili Interactive. This version has been corrected.

But because those therapies are so new — and in one case, very unconventional — payers appear reticent to change their coverage tactics to accommodate them.
