Good Faith Estimate

Effective January 1, 2022, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” detailing the expected cost of your medical care. This estimate is provided to patients who do not have insurance or are not using insurance, based on the care reasonably anticipated at the time the estimate is issued. If there are significant changes to the plan of care, a new estimate may be issued. (This applies to individuals paying privately, those unable to use their insurance benefits or those who are uninsured. It does not apply to patients using their insurance benefits.)

Referrals

To begin speech therapy services with South Texas Talking Sprouts, a referral from your child’s primary care doctor is needed. This referral helps us coordinate with your child’s medical team and ensures we’re addressing any specific concerns. Once we receive the referral, we’ll contact you to schedule an evaluation and start building a customized therapy plan.
