Frequently asked questions.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! We are in network with BCBS PPO Blue Choice plans. If your family is not a carrier of BCBS a superbill will be provided that you can submit to your insurance company to see if they will reimburse services received. Please check with your insurance company up front to ask about out of network reimbursement.
What is a superbill?
Depending on your insurance, I can provide you with a Superbill that you can submit to insurance and they will reimburse you for those services.
Questions to ask your insurance regarding superbills
Do I have an out-of-network deductible to meet first?
Do I have out-of-network speech therapy benefits?
Am I eligible for full reimbursement of speech services?
Can therapy be provided at daycare or school?
Yes, as long as the daycare/school gives us permission!
Is therapy provided by Anchored speech therapy similiar to therapy my child receives at school?
Public schools offer speech therapy services administered by an SLP if they qualify by being able to prove academic impact from the speech and language deficits. Services are often provided in a small group setting typically anywhere from 20-60 minutes a week.
Private therapy is based on the child’s individual needs and is often conducted in 30-45 minute sessions. Services are usually provided in a 1:1 setting to decrease distractions and maximize repetitions and practice. Private therapy allows for frequent parent participation and contact which can aid in carryover of skills. Further, with Anchored being a private pay practice duration and frequency of services are determined by the child’s individual needs rather than an insurance company.
At Anchored Speech Therapy we are open and excited to partner with other therapists in the schools and/or other settings!
Can you make my child stop stuttering?
Stuttering can be a complex challenge that can cause impacts on an individuals ability to communicate. However there are no “cures” for stuttering. My role as speech language pathologists is to help an individual become an efficient, confident, spontaneous communicator. This is done through Avoidance Reduction Therapy, which revolves around the idea that by trying to avoid stuttering, individuals actually stutter more. As we reduce the fear around stuttering we increase an individual’s confidence in communicating, which as a result can often make individuals more fluent due to decreased anxiety.
