At this time, North Star Pediatric Speech Therapy PLLC does not accept insurance and is private pay only. Parents may choose to submit paid invoices to seek reimbursement. Superbills (a paid medical receipt) are sent to all caregivers for potential reimbursement. North Star Pediatric Speech Therapy PLLC cannot guarantee reimbursement of any services from insurance providers and does not contact insurance companies directly.

For all out-of-network/private pay clients, we are confident that our therapy rates are affordable when compared to other private pay specialty speech therapists in the area.

Payment is due at the time of your child’s session. Weekly balances must be paid prior to scheduling additional visits. Payments can be made by cash, check, or credit card including FSA/HSA cards. Electronic payments can be made using your online account

We get it: the cost of things add up and the price for specialist appointments can be costly. We do not want the cost of therapy to be a burden to your family nor do we want the price of therapy to get in the way of your child getting the therapy they need. The ability to communicate, however, is truly priceless. Your child’s ability to communicate opens doors to success in ways that are immeasurable and adds undeniably to their quality of life. Your child will not need therapy forever, but their ability to communicate will last a lifetime.

Each year we are able to offer a limited number of discounted sessions via partial scholarships for therapy services. Please contact us if you are interested in learning more.

A number of our families are able to obtain assistance in paying for therapy. Depending on your child’s needs, diagnosis and/or your family situation, you may find financial support through one or more of the following funding programs:

Small Steps in Speech

The Apraxia Foundation

The Orange Effect Foundation Grant for Speech Therapy 

UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation

We offer free 15 minute phone consultations scheduled by appointment. During this phone call, we may be able to provide you with useful resources to assist you and your child while you wait for CAS/Motor Speech services to become available.

Waiting also provides an opportunity to have your child’s hearing tested and to gather related diagnostic testing (ex. Language, psychology, dental). You can request that a copy of the test results be sent to us to add to your child’s file.

We also offer professional consultations for a fee for you, your child’s current SLP, or teachers to offer support for their current ongoing treatment plan.

Depending on your child’s needs during their speech journey at North Star Pediatric Speech Therapy, different services models may be offered. Weekly and twice-weekly 30 minute therapy sessions are most common, but we also offer intensive services for families who may be looking to boost their child’s progress or are traveling to the clinic from a great distance.

Daily or twice-daily services are considered “intensive” services and are offered at a reduced rate.

Intensive services are often a great option for families in the summer months, especially if they are traveling to the clinic from a distance.

Our “Little Red” car has logged close to 175K Texas and Pennsylvania miles traveling to patients over the past 15 years. Little Red needs a break. For this reason we are only able to see a handful of patients in their homes.

If your child has complex medical needs that make traveling difficult, therapy at home may be an option. In-home appointments are prioritized for children who would require a nurse or additional caregiver for transportation to the office.

When available, home – based therapy sessions are typically scheduled for 45-60 minutes and have an additional cost.

We do our best to offer weekday appointment times based on client preference, and most importantly, to avoid nap times. If you cannot attend an assessment time that is offered, while you will not lose your spot on our waiting list, you will have a longer wait. We will contact you when another time becomes available.

Our after-school openings are in very high demand, often booked months in advance. Many of our families understand that taking their child out of school in order to attend speech-language therapy is necessary and contributes to overall academic progress.

We believe that missing occasional school time in the early years is much less detrimental to our clients than having speech-language skills impact learning, literacy, language and academic performance in later school years.

We are pleased to offer virtual therapy should inclement weather make travel to the clinic unsafe. In a case where you can not make it to the clinic due to circumstances out of your control, we ask for as much notice as possible so we can set up your virtual link and password and email it to you. The cost for virtual services are the same as in-person sessions.

If inclement weather causes the closure of area school districts the clinic may also be closed. In cases of extreme weather or widespread power outages, we will contact scheduled patients as soon as possible and any changes to operation hours will be posted across my social media channels.
