Insurance

·You may be able to receive reimbursement from your insurance company for out-of-network providers. It is the responsibility of the family to arrange this with your insurance provider. We can provide you with a "superbill", which includes diagnostic and procedure codes that can be submitted to your insurance company. We ask that families act as the liaison for any direct communication with their insurance companies.

There are a few common things that many families do not realize regarding their insurance when deciding on in-network and out-of-network therapy options:

  1. You will have to pay out-of-pocket for services until you meet your deductible even if you see an in-network therapist.

  2. If the deductible is high (as many are these days) you may even be discharged from therapy before your deductible is ever met and your insurance begins covering services.

  3. Even after a deductible is met, the family is still responsible for coinsurance (most often 20-30% of the total cost)

So, when does it make sense to be sure you are with an in-network provider? 

If your child has a diagnosis where they will likely need ongoing therapy or other treatments that count towards your annual deductible long term (Autism, Down Syndrome, Severe behavior, etc.). 

However, wait times for early intervention (Babies Can't Wait) and clinics that take insurance in the metro Atlanta area are long.

  • We are happy to see your child until they are able to get on the schedule of a qualified provider that is covered under your policy.

  • Early intervention is key, and if we can get your child started while they are on waitlists, we can easily facilitate a transition to an in-network therapist when a slot opens up. They will likely not have to undergo an additional evaluation at their new facility.
