Frequently Asked Questions

We know that navigating therapy costs and insurance coverage can be overwhelming, and you may have many questions about what to expect.

Our FAQ section is here to provide clear and concise answers to the most common questions families have about therapy costs, insurance benefits, and managing out-of-pocket expenses.

If you need further assistance, our team is always available to guide you through the process and address any additional questions.

What therapies does insurance usually cover?

Most insurance plans cover ABA therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, mental health services, and neuropsychological evaluations when deemed medically necessary.

What costs should I expect before insurance covers therapy?

You may need to meet your plan’s deductible, after which insurance typically covers 70-100% of costs. Co-pays or co-insurance may still apply.

How can I manage therapy costs if my insurance has coverage limits?

If coverage limits are met, options include out-of-pocket payments, secondary insurance, or financial assistance programs. We can help explore these options with you.

Are neuropsychological evaluations covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover neuropsychological evaluations if they are medically necessary for diagnosing and planning treatment. Our team can verify your benefits and guide you through the process.

Can multiple therapies be included in my child’s care plan?

Yes, we integrate all necessary therapies into a coordinated plan, and many insurance plans allow these services to count toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.

What if I have questions about my insurance benefits?

Our team is here to answer your questions, verify benefits, and ensure you understand your coverage before starting therapy. You can also call the Member Services number on the back of your insurance card to discuss their specific guidelines.

How can I estimate my out-of-pocket costs?

During our intake process, our team will perform a benefits verification and provide you with information regarding your benefits. If you would like to discuss specific costs, you can contact our Billing Team directly at 224-725-4148 or email billing@gracentcares.com.

Our commitment to you and your child:

‍For our clients, treatment hours are determined on an individualized basis, without predefined blocks.
Our BCBAs weigh the priorities of the family, the availability of the child given other therapeutic services they may be receiving, and the level of support needed to facilitate the best outcomes.
All of our treatment plans have terminal goals that are reported every 6 months and discussed every 3 months directly with the family, to ensure we are always moving towards fading the level of support needed and increasing daily independence.
