FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
If you are using insurance for your services, a physician referral is required to begin treatment. Just ask your physician, physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner to fax a referral for speech therapy to us at 719-931-5601. Once the referral is received, we will verify insurance information and call you within a few business days to schedule your initial evaluation. If you are not using insurance and privately paying for services, no referral is required but is recommended.
WILL INSURANCE COVER THE COST?
We are in-network with Medicare, Medicaid, and Kaiser Permanente which cover medically necessary speech therapy services. We are also vendors of Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) and accept worker's compensation cases. We accept most other insurances as an out-of-network provider. Your plan may have a copay, coinsurance, or a deductible. For exact details, call your insurance provider. We also have self-pay options. If you are uninsured or choose not to use insurance you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate.
HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS?
The first session will consist of a comprehensive evaluation to identify the client's strengths and weaknesses, establish a plan of care, develop individualized treatment goals, and answer any questions. The initial evaluation takes between 45 and 90 minutes to complete. Following the first evaluation session, treatment sessions are approximately 30 minutes long.
HOW MANY VISITS DO I NEED?
Every individual is different. Depending on the reason for referral, diagnoses, personal goals, and severity level, the number of treatment sessions needed is individualized for each patient. The speech therapist and the client will work together to determine the right number of sessions per week and number of weeks total to reach the client's goals.
