[quote=Anonymous]This forum recommends private ST several times per week for my jid’s Issue- receptive language disorder for a 3.5 yo. My insurance covers up to 15 sessions with more authorized based on medical necessity. I mentioned this to our new practice/therapist.

First she said- oh yeah I’m almost certain your insurance covers one session per week. 
So I called and checked with my insurance- they said “you get 15 sessions and more are authorized if medically necessary”. 
After our first meeting, as I was leaving, I told the therapist “oh hey Larla I checked and we can do more than one session per week”. 
She said, “well I think your insurance covers one 45 min session or two 30 min sessions, and I prefer 45 min sessions bc I feel like in 30 min we are just getting started and time is up”.

Fair enough, but I’m pretty sure there’s nothing stopping us from having two 45 min sessions weekly!

Should I go back around with her on this one more time? Right now she has coveted spots available on Mondays and Wednesdays after work. I don’t want to drop this now only to decide later that we’d benefit from 2x per week and there’s no longer a good time slot available.

Thoughts?  [/quote]
