Frequently Asked Questions
Where is your office located?
Please refer to the "Contact Information" section of this website.
Do you accept insurance plans?
At this time, we do not bill your insurance company directly. However, we can provide you with a "superbill" billing statement with applicable procedure and diagnosis codes for you to submit to your insurance plan for reimbursement. Every insurance plan is different, and some plans may reimburse a certain number of visits. You may also be able to see us as an out-of-network provider. Please check with your specific plan to obtain additional information about reimbursement.
What other options are available to help with payment of services?
You may be able to arrange coverage through an employee “cafeteria” plan. Under such plans, some employers offer the option to select a benefit other than traditional health insurance to reimburse additional medical expenses not usually covered by insurance, such as out of pocket expenses and deductibles. Reimbursement may be determined by IRS guidelines.
You may also be able to use a “Health Savings Account”, or HSA, in which you pay into a family savings account using pre-tax income, for items not covered by traditional insurance, and then receive reimbursement after filing the receipts or invoices. Please check with your employer about the plans available to you.
Since 2005, the IRS has allowed a deduction for medical expenses. In Publication 502 (Medical and Dental Expenses), under the topic “Special Education”, it states, “You can include in medical expenses fees you pay on a doctor’s recommendation for a child’s tutoring by a teacher who is specially trained and qualified to work with children who have learning disabilities caused by mental or physical impairments, including nervous system disorders.” For this deduction, you need a doctor’s recommendation and the fees (which can be combined with other medical expenses) must total more than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.
Tax laws often change, so please check the current IRS regulations. The information provided above is NOT intended as professional or legal advice, but it is worth looking into! For more information visit: www.irs.gov
Do I need a referral to receive therapy or reading services?
We do not bill insurance companies directly for services, so you do not need a referral. However, you may want to get a written doctor's recommendation if planning an IRS deduction, as explained above.
When do I pay for therapy services?
Typically, we require payment at the time of service. In some instances, we may provide you with an invoice to be paid weekly or monthly.
What types of payment do you accept?
We currently accept cash or check. |
