Policy & Payment

What to know before you book

Insurance Coverage

We are Registered Blue Cross Providers and as fully licenced SLP's, our services are covered through many private health insurance plans, depending on individual coverage. We recommend checking your individual coverage, if using private insurance, to see if a Dr. referral is required prior to booking an appointment. We do not require a Dr. referral otherwise and parents or adults can self refer at any time.

Payment

Payment is requested after each session and varies for type of service and length of session. We accept debit, etransfer, and credit card transactions and issue an official receipt for private health insurance reimbursement.

Cancellation Policy

We understand the need for flexibility in scheduling and will do our best to accommodate changes that can arise from family demands and busy lives. However, our policy does require 24 hour notice to avoid any payment, once an appointment is booked and confirmed to you by email. Exceptions will be made if the session can be rescheduled within the week of initial booking.
