Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: We accept most Highmark, Cigna, and some Optum/United plans. We are not currently accepting Medicaid (or CHIP) and you cannot use your Medicaid benefits as a secondary insurance. If you are unsure if speech therapy is covered under your current plan, give your insurance a call (the number on the back of your card) and ask if outpatient speech therapy is covered! You can also ask if your insurance plan is in network with Happy Talk Speech, LLC.
Q: What other payment options are currently available if I don’t use my insurance?
A: We currently accept private pay and have a sliding scale which is income based.
Q: Will I be able to get reimbursed for services through my insurance?
A: If we are out of network (OON) with your insurance, we can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement (ex: Aetna, UPMC, etc).
