Hello, can someone help to refer in MS. Need to switch badly

For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis. I went to my primary care dr who referred me to another dr who specialized in mental health. He asked me about 5 questions before telling me I should see a neuropsychologist for an official assessment. The referral he gave me is super pricey and apparently isn’t covered by insurance. Is that normal?

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him.
