Music therapy is a reimbursable service when prescribed by a physician and deemed medically or behaviorally necessary through a music therapy assessment. The American Music Therapy Association estimates that 20% of music therapists in the United States receive third party reimbursement. Reimbursement typically occurs on a case-by-case basis.
We currently do not accept private insurance, however, families may have the option to seek reimburesement themselves by submitting receipts to their insurance company.
