INSURANCE
At Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. our billing specialist is committed to providing the best experience possible.  We will file your insurance claims for you, along with working with you and your insurance company to obtain payment for services.  Your insurance coverage is a contract between you and your insurance company and/or you and your employer and insurance company. Your insurance benefits for therapy services will be checked and reviewed with you in detail prior to the first appointment.  Please note that a quote of benefits are not a guarantee that therapy will be covered.  Your child’s diagnosis and treatment plan of care are unique, so never assume the benefits will ensure payment for services rendered. It is the parent/legal guardian’s responsibility to keep the office updated on any new insurance policy and provide Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. with an updated insurance card each year or when a new policy is obtained. If PCS is not updated on insurance changes, the patient/guarantor will be charged in full (self-pay rate) for services rendered during that time.

Reimbursement
Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. accepts most types of insurance as a form of payment.  Call the clinic to see if Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. is in-network with your insurance carrier/policy. Any co-payment/co-insurance/session deductible is due at the time of service.

1.	I, Legal Guardian, must make sure the office is aware of any name, address, phone and/or insurance information changes before the appointment.

2.	I, Legal Guardian, am responsible for contacting my insurance company and understanding speech-language coverage terms before evaluation or therapy begins at Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc.

3.	I, Legal Guardian, agree to pay for any and all medical/therapy services I receive from Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc.  including those that my insurance company refuses to pay, for whatever reason. Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. will file a claim on my behalf (if contracted with my insurance company), however, if my insurance company denies payments for any reason (e.g. non-covered services, services not medically necessary, my failure to obtain a referral, etc.), I will pay these charges promptly upon written/verbal notification of this refusal. If the insurance company requests additional information for processing your claim, Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. will promptly comply only one time; there will be no multiple re-filing of claims. It is further understood that no appeals will be filed by Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. on my behalf.

4.	I, Legal Guardian, understand that failure of my insurance company to pay within 60 days of claim filing date will be considered a refusal to pay and I will be responsible for payment in full due upon receipt of notification.

5.	If your account is delinquent, your balance will be turned over to a collection agency and a collection fee of $75.00 or double your balance will be added.

DUAL INSUARANCE WAIVER (if applicable):

TERMINATION / DISMISSAL POLICY
Dismissal/termination of speech and/or language services either permanently or for some specified time period, are set forth in accordance with the American Speech-Language Hearing Association Code of Ethics. The factors for dismissal/termination taken into account include: 1. Individuals shall evaluate the effectiveness of services rendered and of products dispensed and shall provide services or dispense products only when benefit can reasonably be expected. 2. Individuals shall not guarantee the results of any treatment or procedure, directly or by implication; however, they may make a reasonable statement of prognosis. Further, Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. has the right to terminate services at any time.

Termination and /or dismissal may occur due to:
1.	The communication disorder has been remediated or compensatory strategies have been successfully established;
2.	The individual or family chooses not to participate in treatment, relocates, or seeks another provider;
3.	Treatment no longer results in measurable benefits after multiple modifications have been attempted.

Credit Card on File Policy 
Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. is committed to making our billing process as simple and easy as possible, We require that all patients provide a valid credit card on file with our office.

If we do not receive payment for the amount listed on your statement within 30 days, we will run the credit card on file for the full amount owed, unless you have called to setup a payment plan. If your payment is declined, we will call you for an updated card. If our reminder call is not returned within one week, a $25 declined payment fee will be applied, and another statement will be mailed or emailed. Your account becomes delinquent if not paid within 90 days after the date of the original statement. I give Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. permission to charge my credit card for any patient balance due on my account. I have read a copy of Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. Notice of Privacy Practices. I understand a written copy will be provided to me at any time upon my request.  If you have any questions, please contact our office at 405-438-0090 or via email at office@pcs-ok.com

SCHEDULING
Patients will be required to sign up for recurring/standing appointments weekly/monthly.  Reschedules are allowed and are detailed within our attendance policy (below).  All schedule changes must be made through the front office either via phone, email, or text. Phone: 405-438-0090; email office@pcs-ok.com

ATTENDANCE / CANCELLATION POLICY
Regular attendance of scheduled therapy sessions is crucial to your child’s progress. Therefore, to better serve our growing number of patients and their families, we require everyone to follow our 85% attendance policy and respect our “24-hour cancellation” policy regarding appointment cancellations and rescheduling.

Failure to cancel or re-schedule the appointment within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment will result in a fee for a missed appointment. This fee will NOT be submitted to the health plan/insurance; it will be charged to the patient. The missed appointment/cancellation/no-show fee is $35 per therapy session and $100 for evaluations.

Our attendance policy is as follows:  All clients must maintain 85% attendance for all therapy appointments.  Three no shows for scheduled appointments results in immediate discharge.  Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. reserves the right to discharge patients who do not maintain 85% attendance or violate the “no show/no call” policy. Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. understands that unexpected circumstances can never fully be avoided, and we are more than willing to work with each of you on a case by case basis to resolve any unexpected scheduling issues that may arise occasionally. Please make sure you notify the clinic when you are unable to keep scheduled appointments. If you have any questions or need to reschedule an appointment, please do not hesitate to call the clinic at 405-438-0090. We will be more than happy to work with you.

In order for your child to continue making progress, our therapists and front office staff can work together with you to reschedule any cancelled/missed appointments.  This may mean that another therapist may see your child depending on the rescheduled time and availability. Cancellations must be made through the front desk via phone, email, or text with 24 hours advance notice whenever possible. We understand that kids get sick, and emergencies happen.  So, if 24 hours’ notice is not possible, please call as soon as you can, because we often have clients waiting to be seen who could use your child’s cancelled appointment spot. Voicemail is available for you to leave a message 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  1 cancellation per month is allowed, as long as it is rescheduled within the following week (upon availability). We strive to provide 30 minutes of productive treatment each session.  Should your child arrive more than 15 minutes late, Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. reserves the right to cancel your appointment.  If there has been no phone call prior to the appointment start time, that will be counted as a no-show for that day. No-shows should happen only in the case of an emergency, since in most cases, you are able to call, email, or text to cancel an appointment. After 1 or 2 no-show appointments, our office may ask you if we can make schedule changes to better accommodate for your family. In the rare event that a child has 3 no-show appointments in one quarter, they will be removed from the schedule so that another child on the waiting list may be seen.

SICK / ILLNESS POLICY
It is the policy of Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. that in the event the patient becomes ill, the following guidelines will be utilized for re-admitting patients into treatments as listed below:

Cancel appointment if one or more of these conditions are present:
•	Fever of 100 degrees or above
•	Vomiting, nausea or severe abdominal pain
•	Other symptoms suggestive of acute illness

Return to Therapy Guidelines:
•	Fever free for full 24 hours without medication
•	Symptom free of vomiting, nausea or severe abdominal pain
•	All health conditions listed above have been treated and resolved

WAITING ROOM POLICY
Pediatric Communication Solutions, Inc. aims to provide pleasant, confidential, and highly individualized services. While waiting you may overhear confidential information. It is your obligation to maintain confidentiality. All participating parties agree to our confidentiality agreement (above) by signing this document prior to beginning services. Parents are encouraged to attend treatment sessions, however, if your child performs better without you in the room, or if you have other children who would cause a distraction, families are welcome to wait in our lobby during sessions. To provide effective care we ask all patrons to follow the following waiting room policies. No loud conversations or devices in the lobby.  Utilizing headphones is preferred, and if you need to take a phone call, we ask that you step outside as a courtesy to the other clients. We understand that children may have snacks with them.  We ask that you please keep the area clean and throw away any trash.  All drinks should have lids. Due to confidentiality as well as noise level and space constraints, we try to minimize time spent in the lobby.  If you would like to consult with your child’s therapist, please do so during the beginning or end of their session in the treatment room.
