In order to be in compliance with the regulations set forth by insurance companies, a doctor’s referral or prescription, also called a doctor’s “script”, is needed for us to provide a speech evaluation and speech treatment. Private pay patients do not require a doctor’s referral.

Each insurance creates its own authorization procedure, including the type of paperwork they require and the amount of speech therapy they will authorize. They may have a preset number of visits that they allow or may review each patient on a case by case basis to determine the amount of therapy that is medically necessary. Insurances typically range in their authorizations, allowing 1 time per week for 30 minutes to as much as 3 times per week for 1 hour each session. Other insurances may not authorize any speech therapy services, even if the child presents with a delay or disorder.

In cases where: (a) patients may not have insurance coverage or (b) their insurance does not cover speech therapy services, we offer convenient private pay options where you can pay out-of-pocket for sessions. Private pay patients do not require insurance or a doctor’s referral.

Based on your child’s speech therapy needs after an initial evaluation, we can offer sessions in lengths of 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 1 hour. We can see your child for as little as 1 time for 30 minutes per week to as many as up to 5 times for 5 hours total per week (depending on therapist’s availibility).
