Frequently Asked Questions

Joyful Sounds Therapy provides home-based therapy. This means we travel to you and provide services in the comfort of your own home.

Additionally, we have partnerships with a few childcare facilities in Collierville & Germantown.

If your home is not available for us to provide services, please contact us and see how we can accommodate your needs.

Joyful Sounds Therapy only accepts private pay.

However, we do provide superbills for our clients, should they wish to seek reimbursement from their insurance provider. Superbills list the services provided, their cost, and the appropriate billing codes.

Additionally, superbills can be used with programs such as the Katie Beckett Waiver.

Under the No Surprises Act that went into effect January 1, 2022, health care providers are required to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.

Tennessee’s Katie Beckett program is for children under the age of 18 with disabilities or complex medical needs. This program is for children who are not Medicaid eligible because of their parent’s income or assets.

Visit the Katie Beckett website for more information.

The Tennessee IEA Program is available to eligible K–12 students with certain disabilities. To qualify, your child generally must have an active Tennessee Individualized Education Program (IEP) with a qualifying disability and have attended a Tennessee public school during the previous school year (with some exceptions). Students who participate in IEA leave the public school system and can use their IEA funds for approved educational expenses, which may include qualifying speech therapy, educational resources, and communication devices.

To learn more about eligibility and how to apply, visit the Individualized Education Account Program.

Paying for speech therapy without insurance can feel overwhelming, but Tennessee families may have more options than they realize. Depending on your child’s age and needs, programs such as Tennessee’s Individualized Education Account (IEA), Katie Beckett, early intervention services, or private-pay options may help cover the cost of speech and language therapy.

At Joyful Sounds Therapy, we want families to understand the resources available to them so they can make the best decision for their child. Visit our “How to Pay Without Insurance” page for more detailed explanations.
