Appointment day - bring a complex food (e.g. ½ sandwich, burger, pizza, or other food with more than one texture), snacks, and a cup or water bottle. Also, pictures of the patient sleeping at night, watching T.V., and doing something quietly (e.g.. read book, play w/toy, use handheld device). A 2-3 minute video of the patient sleeping is also helpful. Adult patients DO NOT need videos or pictures. Voice patients DO NOT need to bring anything.

 

Therapy

 

Preliminary results will be discussed at the end of the evaluation. Treatment recommendations for referrals, frequency, and duration of sessions will be discussed at the evaluation.

Online appointments are available for some appointments. 

​

• The average therapy patient is seen for 30 minutes weekly or every other week in the beginning. As treatment progresses, the frequency and duration of therapy will also change.

• Consultations to discuss progress updates, goals, review treatment, and answer questions are scheduled in a 60-minute therapy session or a separate appointment billed in 15-minute intervals. If the patient is a minor, they do not need to be present for a consultation appointment.  

• The average voice client is seen for 60 minutes sessions weekly or biweekly.

Payment

 

We chose to build a patient-centered model for our practice that does not allow insurance companies to dictate the care we provide. This means that we are not contracted with insurance carriers. Because of this, payment will be expected during your visit. 

​

Following payment, patients will have online access to a "Superbill" receipt that contains insurance codes required by insurance providers. It is the patient's responsibility to submit appropriate paperwork to their insurance providers for possible reimbursement. 

​

Should you have questions regarding your insurance coverage, we strongly recommend that you call your insurance regarding out-of-network benefit coverage to answer any questions or concerns about your policy. We are unable to answer any questions regarding insurance.
