Evaluations:
Evaluations of pre-school and school-aged children take from
1 1/2 to 2 hours to administer. Evaluations for children 2 years
and under take from 45 minutes to 1 hour. On rare occasions
children have difficulty sitting through the evaluation. When
appropriate or necessary a child may be brought back for a
second observation or home/school observation at additional
cost. This decision will be made between the therapist and
parents, based on information gathered on the day of testing and
the parent interview/questionnaire.
Evaluations include sitting for
the evaluation, scoring, a written narrative report and a
written treatment plan. An in-person interpretive can be
arranged for an additional fee. Occupational Therapy evaluations
done by other facilities will be accepted if they are current.
If a treatment plan with specific long- and short- term goals
was not included, this will need to be done and will be billed
at the prevailing rate per hour.
Consultations:
On occasion school
visits/consultations are an important part of other treatment
process and are very necessary. You will be billed for these
sessions at the prevailing rate per treatment hour. There may be
an additional travel fee applied to these visits. These
appointments are made at the discretion of the therapist, parent
and teacher.
We are always available for brief phone
conversations regarding your child’s progress. Phone
conversations beyond 5-10 minutes will be billed as consultative
services.
Cancellations:
If your child is sick it is best to
cancel therapy. We follow health department regulations which
state that a child must be fever free for 24 hours. In addition
to this, if there is nasal discharge that is not clear or
discharge from the eyes, chances are your child is contagious
and should be taken to the doctor rather than therapy. If you
have any doubts about whether to bring your child, call and we
can make the determination together.
Billing Policy:
Clients will receive a bill suitable
for insurance purposes. From time to time bills are lost and
copies of bills are requested. Requests for copies of one or two
bills can easily be accommodated.
There will be an office charge when copies for
more than two months worth of service are requested. Payment is
due at the time of service. For those wishing to pay on a
monthly basis by credit card we will automatically bill your
credit card at the end of the month for which services were
rendered. We reserve regularly scheduled appointments for our
clients. In consideration for all clients we start and end the
session at the regularly scheduled time and appreciate our
families’ cooperation in this policy. We believe that children
who come consistently to therapy make the most progress,
however, we do understand that there are times when it is
necessary to cancel a session. We ask for 24 hours notice if you
find you cannot make your appointment. Last minute cancellations
(i.e. less than twelve hours before the designated appointment
and /or no calls, no shows) will be billed for the treatment
session missed at the cost to the client, and not the insurance
company. Exceptions to the cancellation policy will be made for
clients who are ill upon awakening. Please call and leave a
message first thing in the morning (before 8 am) if your child
is sick. If you wait until right before the appointment to call
and cancel you will be billed. If weather is bad, we will
contact you to discuss arrangements, or if you know you cannot
get to your appointment, call and leave a message on the
machine. We accept payments by check, VISA, or MasterCard.
PAYMENTS ARE DUE AT THE TIME
OF EVALUATIONS, TREATMENT OR CONSULTATIONS.
