Answers to Common Questions About Our Services
What services do you provide?
We offer remote speech therapy for children, adults, and seniors, treating speech, language, voice, cognitive, and swallowing disorders.
How does remote speech therapy work?
Virtual therapy sessions are conducted via a HIPPA compliant video platform. You will receive a link and appointment reminder before each session.
Is remote therapy as effective as in-person sessions?
Yes — research shows teletherapy is equally effective with the right tools and expertise.
Do you accept insurance?
We proudly welcome private pay clients and are happy to discuss flexible payment options to make therapy accessible and affordable.
We currently accept Aetna South Carolina insurance and are out of network with other providers. We’re continuing to grow and partner with additional insurance payers—please reach out to our office for the latest updates or to discuss your individual coverage options.
Do you accept Medicare?
At this time, we do not accept Medicare. However, we’re continuously working to expand our accepted insurance providers to make our services more accessible.
