Embedded Files
How does the whole process work?
Speech therapy in a private clinic is considered medical so if you are filing with insurance you will have to go see your doctor first and get a referral. Upon receiving the referral, we will contact you to collect any other needed information. We will also run a benefit check for those filing insurance - this must be done before we can set an appointment for any evaluations. Once insurance benefits come back, we will get you on the schedule for evaluation!
My child receives speech therapy at school, is that the same as stepping stone?
There is a difference between school-based services and private practice services. School-based services follow specific guidelines set forth by Oklahoma Department of Education and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). These guidelines require school-based therapy placement to be "educationally necessary," meaning their speech and language delays/disorders are affecting their education, regardless of diagnosis. This makes it more difficult for children to qualify for school-based services. Private practice, however, can treat based on the diagnosis of a speech or language delay/disorder because it is a medical field, as opposed to the educational field. Because of this, remember just because your child qualifies with private practice speech does NOT mean they will qualify at school. If you are interested in pursuing school services in addition to their private speech, let us know so we can proceed together.
What if my child is at daycare?
We are partnered with several local daycares and preschools which allow us to provide services to your child at that location.
Our mobile services do not include coming to your home.
Why Mobile?
This style of mobile therapy allows for a win-win-win situation; your child receives their services, you dont have to leave work, and you still get your evenings at home instead of running all over the Greater Tulsa Area just for speech or OT! So instead of you coming to us, we come to your child!
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we do accept insurance and are currently in contract with SoonerCare Choice and Select, BCBSOK, CommunityCare, United, and HealthChoice.
If we are not in network with your insurance we can provide you with a superbill so you can try to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. We will NOT file this for you.
We also take private pay - Please note all payments are due at the time of service, whether your filing with insurance or private pay. We can take cash, check, or cards.
What daycares and preschools are you partnered with for mobile therapy sessions?
We are currently partnered with the following:
Raising Hope Daycare
Ally's Daycare - in home daycare
Osage Nation WELA learning center
If you are a preschool/daycare interested in setting up a partnership with Stepping Stone Pediatric, please contact us!
