What insurance plans are accepted?
We are an in-network provider with most major insurances, including Indiana Medicaid and MHS providers. We accept most major insurance plans including Medicaid. As a courtesy to our patients, we verify insurance coverage and communicate with you regarding therapy benefits. If your specific health plan is not listed, we will work with you and your insurance carrier to find a solution that best meets your needs.
What if I have a high deductible insurance plan?
Even if your insurance is In-Network, sometimes the insurance provider requires that the deductible be met before they will cover services. If you have a high deductible plan, we have options to help. Private pay rates, discounts, and payment plans are available. We also accept payment via HRA/HSA accounts.
What is the length of a therapy session?
Individual therapy is designed to provide one-on-one, goal-specific therapy based on the specific needs of your child. Session times can range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your child’s individualized treatment plan.
Do you offer any group therapy?
Given the natural tendency of children and adolescents to learn from their peers, group therapy is an ideal venue for developing social skills. Please contact the clinic to inquire about enrollment.
How do I get started?
1. If billing insurance for therapy services, a referral from your pediatrician is usually required.
2. Please provide us with your child’s name and a valid email address. We will send an email to you with a link to complete our electronic intake packet.
3. Upon receipt of the doctor’s referral and completed intake packet, your child is ready for an appointment.What if my child needs multiple therapies?
Many children benefit from a comprehensive therapy plan to address their specific needs. Our scheduling staff and therapists work hard to coordinate and collaborate to create the best schedule to fit the needs of the child and his/her family.
