FAQ & Insurance

Understanding the cost of care and how we help you maximize your benefits.

Q: Do you take insurance?

A: Atlas - Literacy & Language is an Out-of-Network provider. We do not bill insurance companies directly.

The Reason: Insurance companies often cap the number of speech therapy sessions allowed or deny coverage for "reading difficulties" they deem educational. By staying out-of-network, we ensure your child’s care is dictated by clinical need, not an insurance adjuster.

The Solution: We provide you with a monthly Superbill. This is a medical receipt containing all necessary codes (CPT/ICD-10) that you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.


Q: Why should I choose an SLP over a cheaper tutor?

A: A tutor typically helps a child "keep up" with schoolwork. An SLP treats the root cause of the disorder. If your child has a processing issue (Dyslexia), more tutoring is just a band-aid. They need clinical remediation to fix the underlying deficit.


Q: Do you work with the local schools?

A: Yes. While we are a private clinic, our diagnostic reports are written to professional medical standards. Many parents use our evaluations to successfully advocate for better services (IEP/504) within Hamilton County Schools.


Q: Where are you located?

A: We are located in Ooltewah, TN, serving families in the Cambridge Square area, Collegedale, and Chattanooga.
