Deductibles vary in size and may renew at either the calendar year or plan year depending on your individual policy. If you have a deductible and have not met it, payment is expected at each visit until your deductible is met. [/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

Q: Will you bill my insurance company?

Yes! We are committed to providing the best possible care, and that also includes filing insurance claims to your insurance company for therapy services. We are in-network with many insurance companies, and even if we are not, therapy services may still be covered at an out-of-network rate. We work closely with our clients to best utilize their existing insurance benefits. If no insurance is available, we accept cash, checks, Visa and MasterCard as payment for services.

Q: When are copays and payments for services due?

Clients are asked to pay their copay or payment for services at the time of treatment. You should be notified at the time of your visits what the amount of your payment should be. If the office staff doesn’t mention it – please ask. We like to work together to eliminate surprises and we are happy to answer questions!

Q: If treatment is recommended for occupational, physical or speech therapy, how does therapy get started?

At the end of the evaluation appointment, you will be notified if further treatment is recommended. If your insurance company requires additional information from your doctor and/or a prior authorization request for services, we will obtain and the required paperwork (evaluation, plan of care and doctor’s orders) and fax it to your insurance company for you. Your insurance company will then decide if they will authorize services for your child and, once we receive authorization, we will contact you immediately to schedule treatment. If no authorization is required, our scheduler will work with you to schedule recommended treatment appointments at the time of the evaluation.
