To maximize health insurance payments for Early Intervention
(EI) services:
- Get a referral from your child’s pediatrician or
primary care physician (PCP) for EI services
- Immediately contact your Service Coordinator
(SC) to inform them of any changes in your child’s insurance coverage
- If your insurance plan requires authorization to
ensure payment for EI services received, encourage your child’s pediatrician/PCP
and physical therapist to request it
- Note: While many plans require that
authorization be obtained before services are provided, some insurance plans
will allow retroactive authorization
For additional resources on how to maximize your health
insurance for EI services, please see the Parents FAQs.
