Why We Don’t Accept Insurance – And Why That Can Be a Good Thing

At our practice, we’ve made the thoughtful decision not to work directly with insurance companies. We understand this may be a bit surprising at first, so we’d love to share a little more about why – and how it can actually benefit you and your child.

More Personalized, Flexible Care
Private pay allows us to focus entirely on what matters most: your child’s needs. We’re not limited by insurance-driven requirements or rigid treatment plans. That means we can tailor therapy to your goals, adjust sessions as needed, and use the techniques and frequency that are most effective — not just the ones that are covered.

No Waiting
With insurance, private practices have wait lists,  there are often delays due to pre-authorizations, claim denials, or coverage limits. Private pay means you can begin services right away and stay on track without interruptions.

Full Transparency
When you pay privately, you always know exactly what you’re paying for. There are no surprise bills, deductibles, or confusing codes. Just clear communication and honest pricing.

You Comes First , Always
Insurance companies may only cover services deemed “medically necessary,” which can leave out support for things like articulation, language delays, or social communication challenges. But we believe these areas are essential for your confidence, relationships, and success. Private pay gives us the freedom to support the whole person.

Can I Still Use My Insurance?
While we are not in-network with any providers, many families are able to use out-of-network benefits or submit superbills for reimbursement. We’re happy to provide the necessary paperwork and help you understand the process.

We know that virtual speech therapy might sound a little different from the traditional in-person model—but don’t let the screen fool you! Online therapy can be just as effective, engaging, and personalized. In fact, for many families, it offers a level of convenience and flexibility that makes it the ideal choice.

Here are just a few reasons why virtual speech therapy can be a great fit:

Comfortable & Familiar Environment
Children often feel most at ease in their own home. Being in a familiar space can reduce anxiety and help them open up, making sessions more productive and enjoyable.

No Commute = More Time for You
Skip the drive, paying for gas, vehicle wear and tear, parking, and waiting rooms. With virtual therapy, you can log on from home, school, or even during a break in your day. It’s a time-saver for busy families!

Consistency is Easier
Life happens — bad weather, a flat tire, a sibling home sick. Virtual sessions help reduce cancellations, so your child can stay on track and make steady progress.

Real-Life Practice
Virtual sessions often happen in the environments where your child communicates most. That means we can work on real world skills,  like asking for help at home, joining conversations with siblings, or using speech strategies during online learning.

Interactive & Engaging Tools
We use fun digital activities, games, and visuals that keep kids motivated and involved. Many kids love the screen-based interaction and see it as a treat rather than a task!

A Safer, Healthier Option
Virtual sessions help prevent the spread of germs — no worrying about colds, flu, or other illnesses getting in the way of therapy. It’s a safer choice for both your family and your therapist, especially during cold and flu season.

Parent Involvement
Virtual therapy offers a unique opportunity for parents to observe and participate in sessions, learn strategies, and reinforce skills between visits. You become an active partner in your child’s progress.

Just as Effective as In-Person
Research supports what we’ve seen firsthand: teletherapy can be just as effective as traditional in-person services for many types of speech and language needs.

Whether you're looking for flexibility, convenience, or a way to fit speech therapy seamlessly into your routine, virtual sessions may be the perfect solution. Have questions or want to try it out? We’d love to chat and see if it’s the right fit for your child.
