How to Check Insurance Benefits
NOTE TO NEW CLIENTS - PRIOR TO YOUR FIRST VISIT, PLEASE:
1. Ask your child's pediatrician to fax a prescription for "Outpatient occupational therapy evaluation and treatment as indicated from [first appointment date] through [same date next year]" to me at 888-965-8085; please ask them to include relevant diagnoses, medical history, and any precautions/contraindications
