Speech Therapy
your life to live
Did you know Medicare and private insurance do not cover therapy services solely to improve your quality of life? While they do cover services meant to improve your level of function, we offer valuable add-on services to drive participation in your world.
After a dementia diagnosis, families are often expected to manage the disjointed and confusing healthcare system without support. Our innovative therapy approach allows us to partner with you and walk alongside your family for the long haul. If speech therapy is medically necessary, we can help you find coverage in our referral network. We do NOT bill Medicare or private insurance at this time.
Medicare covered services
Rehab therapies are critical to success in dementia. Treatments must be medically necessary and reasonable according to strict Medicare guidelines. Therapy involves assessing where you are today, and moving forward towards your goals.
Medicare covered services …
1 — Improve objective testing measures
2 — Slow disease progression
3 — Treat a specific area of functional decline in daily life
Non-covered services
Quality of life care is everything your medical providers wish they could offer to you. Thrive speech therapy elevates your family values. It involves collaboration, in times of question and crisis - and in times of reminiscing and joy.
Non-covered services …
1 — Do not require objective progress in the person with dementia
2 — Emphasize quality of life
3 — May occur before, during, or after covered speech therapy through another provider
