FAQ
Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?
​
In most cases, a referral is not required to schedule an evaluation. However, some insurance plans may require a physician’s referral for coverage. Our team can help you determine what your plan requires.
​​
What conditions do you treat?
​​
We specialize in adult medical speech-language pathology, including swallowing (dysphagia), speech, voice, language, and cognitive-communication disorders related to neurological, oncologic, and complex medical conditions.
​
What should I expect during my first visit?
​
Your first visit will include a comprehensive evaluation of your swallowing or communication concerns. We will review your medical history, complete clinical assessments, and discuss your goals so we can design a personalized treatment plan.
​
Do you offer instrumental swallow testing such as FEES?
​
Yes. When clinically indicated, we provide Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) to directly visualize swallowing function and guide precise treatment recommendations.
​
Do you offer telehealth appointments?
​
Yes. We offer telehealth services across Ohio for many evaluations and therapy sessions, allowing you to receive specialized care from the comfort of your home when appropriate.
​
Do you accept insurance?
​
We currently accept Medicare and offer private pay options. We are actively contracting with additional insurance plans.
If your plan is out-of-network, we will review your benefits, estimate your coverage, and explain your financial responsibility before you begin care.
​
Can you check my insurance benefits for me?
​
Yes. Our team will verify your benefits, determine in-network or out-of-network coverage, and provide a clear explanation of costs before your first visit. However, we strongly encourage you to also verify your own benefits to check for discrepancy.
​
How long are therapy sessions?
​
Session length and frequency are based on your diagnosis, medical needs, and therapy goals. We offer standard and intensive therapy programs depending on your rehabilitation needs.
