2. What insurance providers do you accept?
We accept Medicaid, private insurance plans, and self-pay options. We also assist families in verifying insurance coverage and understanding their benefits. If your insurance isn’t listed, contact us, and we will explore alternative payment solutions.
3. How long does the application process take?
The approval process for therapy services typically takes 4-6 weeks, depending on your insurance provider and the required paperwork. Families paying out-of-pocket or receiving financial assistance may be able to start sooner.
