[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks much for all your insights.  I really appreciate it.

We really like our SLP through Alexandria PIES.  Our coordinator told us that we could only do one session per week through PIES, but I’m going to ask if this can be upped if there is enough documentation and concern.  Thanks to the PPs who mentioned that this approach worked for them; I’ll give it a try.

I’m going to research the practices PPs mentioned tomorrow.  Again, thank you!  Chatterbox in Alexandria and Exceptional Speech in Springfield (two groups that PPs mentioned that take insurance) would be the most convenient with regards to commuting, but I know there are other considerations too.   I’m glad that the practice our developmental pediatrician recommended (CSLS in Arlington) is recommended by parents here too.

So yeah, I feel more optimistic now.  I wasn’t having any luck when calling around to practices the past few days.  I should have started here first rather than the insurance directory!  Lesson learned…

Yeah, we definitely plan to switch from the basic PPO to the standard PPO in December.  Basic has lower premiums but higher copays.  Standard has higher premiums and lower copays.  Up until this point, we calculated that it would be a wash for us.  We have lots of doctor appointments, but they’ve all been preferred providers, so I’ve never had to worry about the out of network issue.  But because the basic plan doesn’t cover anything for out of network specialists, we’ll need to switch to the standard plan in order to get a portion back.  Arrrrggggg, insurance is such a headache!

I don’t think our parents can help, though I’m sure they would if they could.  They have very modest incomes in the Midwest.

Anyway, thanks again for all your input!
