Pricing Plan for Haslett Speech Therapy

Therapy costs add up fast, and we want to prioritize keeping treatment accessible to families. At the same time, working with insurance companies is increasingly time consuming and at times stressful, especially for small private practices like this one. Additionally, insurance companies often add layers of barriers between a child’s needs and receiving support. For instance, many companies require pre-authorization, referrals from physicians, specific types of testing even when the therapist does not find it necessary to plan treatment. On top of that, many companies have caps on how many sessions will be deemed “necessary” for a child and won’t pay beyond that number. Any seasoned therapist will tell you that treatment time can vary wildly based on a large number of factors. Treatment plans should never be “one size fits all,” and yet that’s generally all that insurance companies will cover, if they will cover it at all!

Our plan to cut through all of these complications is to skip working with insurance all together using an innovative pricing plan for our families. Here’s how it works. We keep costs similar to the cost of a typical co-pay for each session, as long as families are open to their child being paired in a small (2 person max!) group with another child of similar age and with similar needs. Small groups can be beneficial to both students as they offer an opportunity for practice with social communication skills, a friend to make speech games even more fun, and sometimes some gentle social pressure and support to work hard on your speech goals!

Pricing plan:

30 minutes of therapy: $25 per child (2 times per week recommended if possible)

45 minutes of therapy: $35 per child (2 times per week recommended if possible)

30 minutes of guaranteed 1-on-1 therapy: $50 per child

45 minutes of guaranteed 1-on-1 therapy: $70 per child

Currently we accept cash, check, or credit card. We are happy to create a superbill for each session for you to give to your insurance company. If you have out of network benefits sometimes they will reimburse some of the cost of therapy. We also accept Health Savings Account/Flexible Spending Account (HSA/FSA) payments.
