DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE?
Lilac Speech Services is in network with many Excellus BCBS plans (please note we do not accept Medicaid plans at this time). We are otherwise a Private Pay practice. You can also use your HSA/FSA to pay for services. A Superbill can be provided for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement upon request. It is your responsibility to understand your insurance benefits.
At this time, Sarah does see children in Monroe County Early Intervention for feeding therapy only. Please contact us for more information.
DOES MY CHILD NEED AN EVALUATION?
We will complete an evaluation prior to beginning therapy. This evaluation will provide information that will be used to create specific, individualized goals for your child. If your child has had an evaluation completed in the last 3 months, we will review the reports to determine if we need more information before beginning therapy.
