Typically a 60-minute session will consist of 45 minutes of direct therapy and 15 minutes set aside for answering questions, discussing home strategies and next steps etc. Therapy session times can fluctuate, however, based on a variety of factors including the age of the child, the child’s attention span that day, and the nature and severity of the child’s needs.
Do you direct bill?Â
Yes! We offer direct billing for any clients who hold AB Blue Cross. We do not offer direct billing for other insurance providers at this time. Most extended insurance providers and employer benefit plans have coverage for speech pathology services and we are happy to provide you with the paperwork needed for you to seek reimbursement. Please speak with your insurance company directly to discuss your specific plan's coverage and reimbursement policies.
