Q: Insurance providers: How to find an “in-network” provider who participates with my insurance?
A:
If you decide you are looking for an “in-network provider, ”we recommend you ask your insurance representative for a list of providers in your insurance network. Often you can find this online on the insurance company website. Other times, you need to contact them to access the list.)
Then you can contact the providers listed and decide whether they might be a better fit for you. You should ask them about:(1) Availability,
(2) Competence (are they licensed speech-language pathologist and have they had courses or continuing education regarding the issue of your concern),
(3) Experience with the age and issue that you’re interested in (how many clients, of that age and dealing with that issue have they treated in the past three years)
