[quote=Anonymous]I’m right there with you with the costs: OT, speech, part time nanny because dd can’t go to aftercare, play therapy, supplements, on and on. My suggestions 1) Get the right pediatrician. Our pediatrician will write a referral for specialists, in network or out of network, and it gets approved. This is half your battle. Kaiser is great for this imo. 2) Get a dependent care FSA—you can deduct pretax dollars from your account to pay for childcare. I trained our nanny to tutor our kids and she has been amazing 3) Get a medical FSA. We pay like 150 per 45 min play therapy session. Even if your out of network session isn’t covered, you can get it pretax covered—without having to meet h Ty e ridiculously high threshold—with a healthcare FSA [/quote]
