Will insurance pay for my visit?

Every attempt will be made to obtain insurance authorization (when required) before your visit.  Initial evaluations (by each DVCC member) are typically covered by insurance. Because each specialist is evaluating different components of your voice problem, your insurance company considers each specialty independently and may require a separate co-pay for each provider. You may have up to 2 co-pays for your visit. Although insurance specifics may vary depending on the company, our DVCC team treats everyone equally. Our visit will include a medical evaluation by the ENT, a voice analysis and evaluation by speech pathology, and then a joint discussion with you and the DVCC team in order to make a plan and incorporate your goals into our assessement and treatment planning.
