FAQs

At this time, Bridge Speech Therapy Services is private pay only and we do not take insurance.

If you would like to seek reimbursement from your insurance company for speech therapy sessions, we can provide you with a Superbill upon your request. A Superbill is a document made for insurance companies that provides specific information about the services a therapist or healthcare provider rendered to a client. Unlike traditional receipts, Superbills contain the information needed for insurance companies to pay the claim. Clients should reach out to their insurance company prior to initiating services to see if their insurance will cover out of network speech therapy.

Each new client must have an evaluation before beginning treatment. This could possibly be waived if an evaluation within the last year can be provided demonstrating assessment of the current areas of concern. An evaluation is needed to assess the areas of concern(s) and determine an appropriate intervention plan.

Bridge Speech Therapy provides convenient in-home speech therapy in parts of the Central Los Angeles area, including West Hollywood, Beverly Grove, Beverly Hills, and Miracle Mile. Therapy may also be provided in daycare or preschool settings, dependent on that location’s rules/regulations. Please contact us to confirm if you are in our service area for in-person therapy.

Telehealth services are also offered to all California residents.

No, a referral from your doctor is not required as services are private pay.

If you are interested in seeking reimbursement, it is recommended you contact your insurance company to find out their procedures for submitting a superbill for out-of-network benefits.

Telehealth, or teletherapy, are interchangeable terms that refer to the use of technology to provide healthcare or educational services from a distance (i.e., via a video conferencing platform). Technology paves the way to link client to clinician for assessment, therapy, and consultation. Teletherapy is done in a similar fashion as in-person speech therapy but the techniques used will probably look different.

Teletherapy had already been used by Speech-Language Pathologists for decades before the COVID-19 pandemic, and studies show that it is as effective as in-person treatment. The American-Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) is very supportive of teletherapy and is committed to bring effective services to everyone who may need it.
