Contact FTC Kids

We work with all out-of-network insurance providers.

After the initial contact is made either through our 24-hour phone service or email, FTC patient advocate will contact you within 24 hours.

She will send you the link to fill out all necessary paperwork which can be found on our website and a place to upload a copy of your insurance card front and back.

Our team will check your insurance before your first appointment so you will have a full understanding of what coverage you are entitled to.

If you don’t hear from us within 24-48 hours, you can call 973-339-0141. We will schedule your screening/evaluation.

We try to schedule you within 1 week, but depending on schedules it may take up to two weeks.

FTC Kids can legally treat your child without a prescription/referral; however, if we are billing insurance, they may require the referral.

Our FTC client advocate team will do everything in their power to ensure reimbursement.

We may ask families to get a referral signed by a medical doctor, nurse practitioner or psychiatrist to help the case.

FTC Kids offers complementary screenings. This is a time where parents can express their concerns and ask questions to qualified therapists about their child’s behavior and skills.

The therapist will observe the child playing naturally and may have him/her complete some simple activities to get a quick “snapshot” of your child without formal testing.

Evaluations are required by all insurance companies for prior-authorizations or approval to start services at FTC Kids. Your insurance policy may list coverage for therapy services; however, it must be medically necessary.

The results from the evaluation will determine not only if therapy is beneficial but if it is necessary for your child’s development.

You will be required to bring copies of your insurance cards and all completed paperwork if not filled out online prior to session.

Parents and child will tour the facility and be introduced to the evaluating therapist.

If the child is comfortable, he/she will transition with a therapist for testing while the parent completes an interview with a patient advocate.

Insurance coverage will be reviewed and information gathered from the interview and screening will be shared with parents.

Together the parent and therapist will create a plan for next steps and following session will be scheduled. 

This is usually conducted over one or two 1-hour sessions where the child completes a series of developmental movements, reflex testing, visual motor testing and standardized testing.
