​
Q: Do you accept my insurance?
A: This is one of the most common questions we get at TelePlay Therapy. People want to know if we accept their health insurance for services we provide. TelePlay Therapy is a self-pay company for all of our services.  At times, insurance companies may cover Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, or Child Counseling. However, we do not file for payment with insurance companies; we bill families directly. BUT, this can be a benefit for you and us! Depending on your insurance company and the level of coverage, you may end up paying about the same for services or even less. Contracting with insurance companies is costly for businesses like TelePlay Therapy. Keeping our payment model as self-pay, we are able to keep our prices affordable. Learn more by clicking here.
​
Q: Is TelePlay Therapy as effective as face-to-face services?

A: Yes! Research shows that virtual therapy, counseling, and coaching services are easily effective via means like TelePlay Therapy. Video therapy has been used for decades and dates back to 1991.  Therapies conducted through remote avenues have proven results in overcoming barriers associated with face-to-face therapy appointments. Our clients are highly engaged with our therapeutic professionals and receive individualized attention and support even though they may be located miles apart. TelePlay Therapy is not a subscription service or counseling platform. We provide one-on-one sessions for clients.


Q: How long are the programs?

A: Studies show that consistency of developmental therapy is needed in order to show measurable, sustainable progress on a child’s goals. Therefore, TelePlay Therapy has designed its therapeutic programs to be at least 3 months in length, which can be renewed. TelePlay Therapy conducts assessments to see how your child has progressed. It is just like other areas of skill development or behavior change…the more you do it, the better the results. â€¨Think about swimming lessons, the more lessons your child has, the better swimmer they become. We do allow parents to choose a plan that best meets the needs of your family.  Contact us to see what frequency and commitment length will work best for you!
