Speech Therapy Insurance Information

Insurance We Accept

We provide in-network services and billing for:

Medicaid (SSI, Straight and Katie Beckett Deeming Waiver)

Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance 

Out of Network Services

Although your insurance plan may state “Speech Therapy” benefits, it is unusual to receive coverage for pediatric speech therapy diagnoses and we are typically considered out-of-network providers. We provide all necessary invoicing information for clients to maximize their insurance coverage for speech therapy with out of network insurance carriers.

• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
