No referral is needed if you are paying privately.
You can contact us directly to schedule a consultation or begin services — no doctor’s note, prior authorization, or referral is required.

This allows for quicker access to care and a more streamlined experience. If you have a pediatrician, physician, or other provider involved in your child’s care, we’re happy to collaborate with them if you choose.

At Feed and Flourish Therapy Services, LLC, we have chosen to operate as a private pay practice for our feeding and language therapy services. This decision is grounded in our commitment to providing the highest quality care for your child and your family. However, services may be eligible for insurance reimbursement under your out of network (OON) benefits. We will provide you with a superbill (medical receipt) to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. 

Please know that we want all families to be reimbursed for services; however, we cannot guarantee reimbursement. We ask that families communicate with their insurance company directly.

1. Individualized, Flexible Treatment

Insurance companies often require standardized treatment plans, limit session time, or dictate the number of sessions allowed. Feeding and language therapy are not one-size-fits-all — each child and family is unique. Private pay allows us to tailor treatment frequency, length, and approach to best meet your needs without insurance constraints.

2. Greater Privacy and Confidentiality

Insurance reimbursement typically requires a formal diagnosis and the sharing of clinical records. By choosing private pay, your child's care remains entirely confidential and under your control, without third-party involvement.

3. Access to Comprehensive, Integrated Support

Feeding and language therapy often involves collaboration among therapists, dietitians, physicians, and caregivers. Insurance rarely covers this level of coordination. Private pay enables us to offer a more cohesive, team-based approach with consistent communication and care.

4. No Delays in Starting Care

Insurance approval processes can take weeks or even months, delaying the start of critical services. With private pay, your child can begin feeding therapy quickly, when support is needed most.
