FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. We accept most major insurance plans and will submit claims on your behalf for services provided at Speech Therapy For All P.C.

Currently accepted plans include:

• Aetna

• Blue Cross Blue Shield

• Cigna

• Emblem Health

• Humana Tricare

• Magnacare

• Medicare

• United Health Care (NYSHIP / Oxford / UMR)

If you don’t see your plan listed, please call us — we may still be able to help.
Before your first appointment, we’ll verify your benefits and let you know whether services are fully covered or what your out-of-pocket costs may be.

What if I don’t have insurance benefits?

We offer flexible payment options, including:

• Discounted prepay packages: Buy 5 sessions upfront at a reduced rate.

• Sibling discounts: Lower rates when multiple children are enrolled at the same time.

What do I need to get started?

To schedule an initial evaluation, please provide:

• Completed New Patient Intake Forms

• A copy of your insurance card(s)

• A doctor’s referral (if required by your insurance plan)

Will I need a referral from my doctor?

Maybe. Requirements vary by insurance plan. We’ll contact your insurance provider on your behalf to determine if pre-authorization is needed.

Can I join my child/family member during the session?

Yes. We welcome family involvement when it benefits your child.
In some cases, your therapist may recommend sessions without a parent present to support progress — this will be discussed with you in advance.

How long are the sessions?

• Evaluations: 60 minutes

• Therapy sessions: 30 minutes
  If you wait outside during therapy, the therapist will use the last few minutes to review your child’s progress, goals, and homework with you.

How do I know if services are needed?

Start by speaking with one of our therapists about your concerns. We can recommend next steps, including a full evaluation if appropriate.

For speech/language concerns, we also offer free screenings. These provide an informal assessment of specific concerns and an opportunity to sit down with a therapist to discuss your child’s needs.
