Insurance
We are in network with most major plans in this area, including Georgia Medicaid. Before your child is seen, our intake team verifies your benefits and tells you what your plan actually covers, so nothing about the cost is a surprise.

Being in network is not the same as being covered
In network means we have an agreement with your insurer about what we charge. It does not by itself tell you whether your particular plan pays for speech, occupational, physical or ABA therapy, how many visits it allows in a year, or what your deductible and copay will be. Two families with the same insurer can have very different answers.
That is why we verify benefits before your child is seen rather than after. Our intake team contacts your insurer, confirms what your plan covers for the service your child needs, and explains what it will cost you before you commit to anything.
What your plan may require first
Most plans want a referral from your child's primary physician before therapy begins, and our office needs that on file to schedule a first appointment. Some plans also require prior authorisation for a course of treatment. The intake forms page lists everything to bring, and our team will tell you which of these applies to you.
If your child has both private insurance and Medicaid, bring both cards. Medicaid requires that we bill the primary insurance first.
Georgia Medicaid and the Katie Beckett Waiver
The Katie Beckett Waiver, known in Georgia as the Deeming Waiver, is a route to Medicaid for a child with significant medical needs or a disability whose family income would normally rule them out. It exists because a child who could be cared for in an institution should not have to be, and it looks at the child's needs rather than the parents' income.
Families miss it for exactly that reason. They assume they earn too much to apply, and nobody tells them otherwise. If your child has a qualifying diagnosis or a significant level of need, it is worth asking about even if you have been turned down for Medicaid before.
It is applied for through the state rather than through us, and we cannot decide eligibility. What we can do is tell you what we see, and talk you through how therapy here would work if it is approved. Call 770-240-0163 and ask.
If we are not in network with your plan
Call anyway. Some plans pay out of network benefits, some families use a single case agreement, and we can tell you what a self pay course of therapy would cost so you can compare. We would rather give you an honest number than have you assume the answer is no.
