Helpful Information About Working With Sprout Feeding Therapy Company in NYC
Billing & Insurance
Sprout Feeding Therapy is a private pay practice and does not accept insurance.
While we don’t bill insurance directly, we’re happy to provide a superbill upon request. You can submit this to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Being a private pay practice allows us to offer more flexibility and truly personalized care with no visit limits, no time restrictions, and no surprise denials. You’re free to choose the therapist who’s the right fit for your family, stay actively involved, and receive care tailored to your child’s unique needs.
