Payment Options
EVOLVE SLP Therapy is currently in the process of becoming an approved Early intervention provider in Westchester County and look forward to working with children in that program once we are approved. We are an out-of-network provider with all other payors. We accept cash, checks and credit cards for direct payments to us.
Our fee for evaluations varies from $375+ depending on the complexities of your child, whether we perform formal testing that requires scoring and if a full formal write up is requested. Ongoing treatment is $195+ per 50-minute session with 10 minutes allotted for follow up with parents and caregivers. We will provide you with a fully coded superbill as a receipt but can make no representation whether you will be reimbursed in part or in full should you use it to submit to your carrier. We are able to offer prompt pay discounts, pre pay discounts, and on a case by case basis, partial financial hardship waivers. Please reach out to us directly and in confidence at contact@evolveslptherapy.com to discuss.
Using Network Gap Exceptions and Single Case Agreements for Payment
If you are unable to find a suitable in network speech and language therapist available to work with your child, it is possible Evolve Speech Therapy might be able to work with you under a Network Gap Exception (AKA Single Case Agreement or Network Deficiency Coverage). This is a tool health insurance companies use to compensate for gaps in their networks of contracted healthcare providers and the first step is to find out whether your carrier offers this. If your carrier will grant you one, it usually only covers one specific service for a specified time period. We will work with you to fill out the required forms to get approval and then may be able to be paid directly by your carrier.
Using Flexible Spending Account and Health Savings Account for Payment
The good news is that according to the IRS Pub 502, speech therapy services are eligible for reimbursement from flexible spending accounts (FSA), health saving accounts (HSA), health reimbursement accounts (HRA), dependent care flexible spending accounts (DCESA) and limited care flexible spending accounts (LCFSA). This means that you will be able to submit our bills for reimbursement, and in many cases, we may be able to get paid directly from your FSA or HAS.
