Care
Our occupational therapy clinic offers personalized care to meet the specific needs of each child. We work closely with families and healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive support tailored to each situation.What am I responsible for?
Occupational therapy prescribed by a pediatrician or family doctor is covered by basic health insurance (LaMal). Most of the time, for children, the entire cost is covered without deductible or co-payment (verify with your basic insurance). In case of accident or disability, occupational therapy expenses are covered 100% by insurance.
