Hi. I’m on Medicaid (thank you ACA, and thank you Republican governor for not being a complete shitheel like your compatriots in Kansas and Iowa). It’s pretty great for everyday things, but one thing it doesn’t cover? Psychological diagnostic testing. And my PCP doesn’t recommend starting meds at my age (mid-forties).
It might be worth paying out of pocket for a potential life altering diagnosis. Easier said than done depending on your personal finances.
There are also newer non-stimulant meds if age/heart health is an issue, and some off-label drugs that GP doctors can prescribe that could help as well (Wellbutrin comes to mind).

So… coffee it is I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
