You May Be Wondering….
Starting August 14th 2022, Expansion Speech Therapy will have private pay options only due to decreased reimbursement rates from a variety of insurance companies.
Your child is entitled to receive those services as specified in their IFSP or IEP. Please contact your local intermediate unit/early intervention agency/Elwyn to confirm that outside therapy services will be reimbursed. We will provide these services at our private pay rate. Payment is due upon the day of service. We will provide a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement from your local intermediate unit/early intervention agency/Elwyn. Please note, Expansion Speech Therapy LLC, will not become involved in disputes between you and your third-party source regarding uncovered charges or reasons for denial.

Using Out-of-Network Insurance Benefits: Your insurance plan may still cover a large portion of your therapy costs if you have “out-of-network” benefit for speech therapy/feeding therapy/AAC therapy. You may look up your plan details. If you don’t have out-of-network benefits, consider switching to a plan that does during the Open Enrollment period.
Getting reimbursement using your out-of-network benefits is easy. Just log in to the patient portal and print your “superbills.” They will have all the information your insurance company will need to process a claim for you. They will send you a check in the mail for whatever portion is covered, usually within a couple of weeks.
Health Savings Accounts: Therapy Services are eligible for reimbursement with a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), and health reimbursement account (HRA). These are tax-advantaged savings accounts that allow you to use pre-tax money toward your child’s therapy sessions. This way, you get the full value of your dollar (no taxes) and you reduce your income(lower taxes overall).
If you are having financial difficulty, please reach out. We offer a very limited amount of discounted & pro bono rates on a situational basis!
