Re: Re: Sound Sensitivity - Thomatis method/Lore

[Guest guest]

Hi Anne-

We paid out of pocket and then submitted for reimbursement through our

provider- Blue Cross PPO- one block of therapy at a time. I believe Tomatis

falls under an umbrella of speech services, and since we were not receiving

speech outside of the school system, we were covered. We'll see if they will

also help with this next round... I hope this helps!

Sincerely, Lore
