Why Self-Pay?

Better care, your way

Choosing a self-pay practice isn't just about skipping the insurance headaches — it's about choosing a completely different kind of care. Here's why families across the country are making the switch.

🎯

Therapy Built Around Your Child

No insurance company decides how many sessions your child gets or which goals are "approved." Frequency, duration, and focus are driven entirely by your child's needs — not a billing code.

⏱️

No Waiting Lists

Insurance-based clinics often have months-long waitlists. Private pay practices can get your child started quickly — which matters when communication development is time-sensitive.

📋

Transparent, Simple Pricing

Know exactly what you're paying — no surprise bills, denials, or EOBs arriving months later. Superbills are available so you can seek out-of-network reimbursement on your own terms.

Insurance-Based Therapy

  • Limited sessions approved per year
  • Goals must meet insurer criteria
  • Long waitlists at in-network providers
  • High therapist caseloads
  • Surprise bills & denials after the fact

Self-Pay with Katie B SLP

  • Sessions based on clinical need, not caps
  • Goals tailored entirely to your child
  • Get started sooner, not months later
  • Small caseload = more focus on your family
  • Clear upfront pricing, no surprises

* Superbills are available upon request — many families with PPO or out-of-network benefits receive partial reimbursement directly from their insurance provider.
