Answers To Your Questions
We understand that choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. Rest assured, you’ve made a wonderful choice with us! Below, you’ll find answers to some frequently asked questions from our clients. If there’s anything else you’d like to know that isn’t covered, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support you!
Do you offer same-day appointments?
Unfortunately, we do not offer same-day appointments. Each session and evaluation requires specific preparation to ensure the best outcome.
To get started, please contact us today so we can plan your session together.
A free virtual consultation is mandatory before scheduling any evaluation. This consultation allows us to get to know you, address your questions, share our approach, and determine if we’re a good fit to work together.
Do you accept insurance?
At Brainstorm Speech Therapy, we are in-network with AETNA. However, for all other insurance providers, we are considered an out-of-network provider even TRICARE
Why?
We believe you deserve our full attention. By not working directly with most insurance companies, we are able to invest our time, energy, and resources into you, your child, and your treatment plan. We also want you to have full control over your treatment.
Private pay options give us the flexibility to tailor services to your needs. Insurance companies often restrict the number and duration of services and sometimes do not cover speech therapy at all. By offering private pay, we do not require referrals or prior authorizations.
But wait! We do offer superbills or Courtesy billing!
Superbills are monthly statements that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Depending on your insurance plan, you may be reimbursed for part or all of your speech therapy services.
Courtesy billing is a service we provide to help families submit claims to their insurance for potential reimbursement. While Brainstorm Speech Therapy is an out-of-network provider, we can generate and submit claims on your behalf, making the process easier for you. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your insurance plan. We recommend checking with your provider for details on out-of-network coverage.
To verify your out-of-network benefits, please call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask about coverage for speech therapy services with an out-of-network provider. After our initial consultation, we will provide you with a "cheat sheet" to help you successfully verify your out-of-network benefits. Only after your benefits have been successfully verified will we issue a superbill or courtesy billing
Note:
We are licensed to provide Speech-Language Therapy Services in Virginia and New York. We can offer consultations in other states and globally, but these services are all out-of-pocket and no superbills can be provided.
Reminder:
It is the family's responsibility to retain copies of all treatment notes, evaluations, progress reports, invoices, and superbills for insurance claims. Don’t worry—everything will be safely stored in our portal for your convenience.
