FAQ’s
Where do services take place?
Womb to Walking, LLC offers concierge services. This means that each session will take place in the comfort of the baby’s home with caregivers present. Babies find peace and security in familiar environments. That is why our therapist will come to you. No need to pack a diaper bag, take a long commute through traffic, or disrupt the baby’s mood and schedule by traveling to a noisy clinic. We will take care of the commute!
How long are appointments?
Most appointments will last about 45-60 minutes depending on the baby’s energy and tolerance for therapy. This includes evaluations and treatment sessions. Wellness visits can last 30-45 min. Part of the appointment time includes parental education and planning. Breaks and snuggles with your baby are always allowed!
How many appointments will my baby need?
This will depend on the diagnosis, age of baby at referral, and severity of the conditions presented. We will give you exercises and activities to complete between therapy sessions to ensure the most optimal outcome for your child. With most diagnoses, research shows the earlier therapy begins in infancy, the shorter the overall treatment time and better overall results. We will recommend the best timing protocol for your infant based on the initial evaluation. Each parent will maintain the right to request more or less support for your family.
Do you accept insurance?
Womb to Walking, LLC operates as an out-of-network provider. We will not directly bill your insurance. We do require payment at the time of service, however, we will provide you with a detailed description of services that you can use as a super bill to submit for reimbursement on your own. We recommend you research your physical therapy out-of-network benefits prior to initiating our services if reimbursement is desired. Reimbursement is determined by each individual insurance company and does not guarantee payment in full. Wellness consults or services are not subject to reimbursement from insurance carriers. Operating as an out-of-network provider allows our therapist to avoid delaying time sensitive therapy services, frustrating long waiting periods after evaluations, and unnecessary restrictions to the infants needed services.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash, credit/debit cards, personal checks, and HSA/FSA cards.
Do I need a referral from my child’s physician?
In both Missouri and Kansas, Physical Therapists have direct access to evaluate and initiate treatment on a patient without a referral. After the evaluation, we will fax a referral request along with our evaluation to the baby’s physician on your behalf. We strive to maintain an open relationship with your child’s provider throughout treatment.
