Physicians can refer to Empowered Voice Rehabilitation when a patient is exhibiting any voice, swallowing, breathing, resonance, language, communication, or cognitive concerns. If a patient is wanting to utilize insurance for coverage of their sessions, they will need to have a referral from a provider. If the patient is planning to do private pay, they do not need a referral from a physician, but it is helpful to have one on file. Alternatively, the patient can directly contact Empowered Voice Rehabilitation.

If you are wanting to utilize insurance for coverage of your sessions, you will need to have a referral from a provider. If you are planning to do private pay, you do not need a referral from a physician.
