Helpful Information

Water City Speech Therapy does not currently accept insurance. Insurance plans often dictate the number of sessions and the specific types of therapy that can be covered. Private pay allows for more flexibility in frequency and intensity as it directly relates to your child's specific needs.

Within the healthcare system, delays are inevitable. However, with private pay, there is no waiting, and therapy can begin as soon as desired.

We have a 24-hour cancellation policy (understanding that sickness and other unexpected circumstances occur). Failure to cancel 24 hours before the session will result in a $20 non-cancellation fee. If you do not provide any notice and are a no-show, you will be charged for the full session. Repeated offenses may lead to a discontinuation of services.

Cash, check, or card. Water City Speech Therapy accepts credit/debit cards through a HIPAA-compliant practice portal.
