What does home/community-based services mean?

This type of session will take place either in your home or an agreed upon location. This is to offer convenient services in a comfortable and familiar environment for your child. Sessions can be provided in daycares when discussed and felt appropriate by all parties involved. Please note that at this time, most insurance plans do not cover home/community based therapy.

What other options are available and covered by most BCBS plans?

Even though home/community based visits can only be done with private pay, we are able to treat in an office setting. This setting is available for private pay and insurance clients. Please contact us to determine what your insurance plan covers and for private pay rates. Your care in the clinic setting will still be individualized and catered to your child’s needs.
