Fees and Coverage

We believe that working together with the client, the family, and their support system maximizes individual development and learning potential. Enclosed is a profile of our fee schedule.

Fee for Service
All of our services are provided on a fee for service basis. Our fee schedule is based on the recommended fee guidelines provided by the Alberta Speech-Language Association of Private Practitioners (ASAPP). Please contact us at (403) 547-2951 or to obtain further information or to receive a copy of our current fee schedule.

Policies
Payment Policy - Payment by cheque or cash is due at the time of the session.

NSF Policy - An administration fee of $15 will be levied for all NSF cheques.

Cancellation Policy - A cancellation fee of $65.00 will apply if appointments are not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance. The exception to this policy is cancellation due to illness.

Coverage
Currently, Alberta Healthcare does not provide coverage for private Speech-Language Pathology services. Many group insurance plans cover at least a portion of the cost for private services. Please check with your insurance company for details regarding your particular situation.

Your insurance company may request proof that the Speech-Language Pathologist working with you and your family is registered with the Alberta College of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (ACSLPA). All the staff at Therapy Connection are registered and certified professionals and would gladly provide needed documentation on request.

Note
Fees paid for private Speech-Language Pathology services are typically considered to be a tax deductible medical expense by the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency. Please contact the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency and/or your accountant for more information.
