Obtain a Referral
If required, ask your child's pediatrician or primary care physician to provide a referral for speech-language therapy services.

FAQ
Common Insurance Questions
Do I need a referral to start therapy?
Referral requirements vary depending on your insurance plan and the services your child needs. Our team can help you determine whether a referral or other documentation is required before beginning services.
How do I know if services are covered?
Insurance coverage varies by plan. We recommend contacting the member services number on the back of your insurance card to ask about your benefits for speech, language, and feeding services. Our office can also assist with verifying benefits and eligibility.
What if my insurance does not cover services?
If your insurance plan does not cover services, please contact our office to discuss available options. We are happy to review next steps with your family.
Does verification of benefits guarantee coverage?
No. Verification of benefits does not guarantee coverage or payment by your insurance plan. Coverage is determined by your individual plan and may be subject to deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, authorization requirements, and other plan guidelines.
