Frequently asked questions
General Information
There are two ways to get started, whichever works best for your family:
1. Call our office at (504) 688-3568 to book an evaluation or get started right away. No phone consultation is required.
2. Schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation if you'd like to talk through your concerns first and find out whether an evaluation is the right next step.
Please note that we are unable to make any diagnoses over the phone. Detailed questions and advice are best addressed during a full evaluation. If you choose the phone consultation, we encourage you to write your questions down beforehand so we can make the most of the time.
Private pay patients do not need a referral to receive our services. However, if you plan to seek out-of-network reimbursement, your insurance carrier may require a physician's referral. Please contact your insurance carrier for additional details.
For Louisiana Blue Cross Blue Shield patients, a physician's referral is required.
If you would like to access services through the Louisiana EarlySteps program (for children ages 0-3), a referral is required. Please contact us for help with this process.
Costs depend on the type of evaluation or therapy, the setting (clinic, in-home, school, or virtual), and how you plan to pay.
Bloom Therapy Group is in-network with Louisiana Blue Cross Blue Shield, and we also offer private pay options. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Call our office at (504) 688-3568 and we'll walk you through current rates, what your insurance may cover, and which evaluation or therapy is the best fit for your child or family member.
We are in-network with Louisiana BCBS. For all other insurance plans, we are currently a private-pay practice and do not accept insurance directly.
We accept all major credit cards, as well as FSA (Flexible Spending Accounts) and HSA (Health Savings Accounts). We also offer payment plans and package options to make therapy more accessible - please contact us if you’d like more details.
If you have out-of-network benefits, we’re happy to provide a superbill after services are paid in full, which you can submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. However, we do not bill insurance directly or assist with any insurance-related paperwork or disputes.
We also provide services through Louisiana’s EarlySteps program, which is a state-funded early intervention program for children ages 0–3. If you are interested in EarlySteps services, please contact us directly for more information on how to get started.
Payment for therapy services is due at the time of service.
We accept all major credit/debit cards, FSA (Flexible Spending Accounts), HSA (Health Savings Accounts), and offer automatic payment options for your convenience.
We also provide payment plans for therapy packages to help make care more manageable. Please inquire if you’d like more details.
