FAQ

We offer a range of services including occupational therapy, wellness consultations, home and environmental assessments, aging in place strategies, occupational balance consultations, and guidance on women’s health and pediatric development.

Occupational therapy and consulting services both aim to enhance your well-being, but they differ in scope, focus, and approach.

Occupational Therapy:

• Scope: Provides direct, hands-on therapeutic interventions.

• Focus: Helps individuals perform daily activities and improve their functional abilities.

• Approach: Often ordered by a referring physician, occupational therapy involves comprehensive evaluation, treatment planning, and follow-up. It addresses specific concerns related to a diagnosis and aims to overcome physical, cognitive, emotional, and environmental barriers to enhance independence and quality of life.

• Examples: Standardized and non-standardized assessments, therapeutic activities and exercises, adaptive techniques, and skill development for activities of daily living. Specialized areas include dementia care, neurological disorders, women’s health (infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause) and pediatric development.

Consulting Services:

• Scope: Offers expert advice and recommendations without direct therapeutic intervention.

• Focus: Provides guidance on optimizing home and work environments, enhancing safety, and promoting overall well-being.

• Approach: Includes assessments, consultations, and personalized recommendations.

• Examples: Home and environmental assessments, aging in place strategies, occupational balance consultations, and guidance on women’s health and pediatric development.

Many of the consulting services provided by The Functional Nest LLC are related to home/environmental assessment, aging in place, occupational balance, women’s health, and pediatric development. These services aim to create safe, supportive, and well-organized environments that enhance daily life and overall well-being.

By understanding the differences between these services, you can choose the one that best meets your needs and goals. If you have any further questions or need assistance in deciding which service is right for you, please contact us.

Consulting services provide expert advice and personalized recommendations to optimize your environment, daily routines, as well as overall functioning and well-being. Services such as aging in place strategies, occupational balance consultations and plans, and guidance on women’s health and pediatric development help create a balanced, safe, and fulfilling life.

The Functional Nest, LLC is an out-of-network provider and does not accept health insurance. Please check with your insurance provider about your out-of-network benefits for occupational therapy and the claim submission process. We will provide the necessary documentation if services are covered.

Note: Wellness and consulting services are not eligible for insurance reimbursement.

Payment is due at the time of service. We accept cash, checks, major credit cards, FSA, and HSA. Receipts and itemized super bills will be provided for insurance reimbursement.

While an order or referral from your doctor is not required for wellness or consulting services, The Functional Nest values a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to your health and well-being. Although not mandatory, obtaining an order from a physician for occupational therapy or consulting services is advisable before an evaluation.

An order from your physician enables open communication between your occupational therapist and the referring provider, enhancing collaboration and follow-up resources. Additionally, many insurance companies require an order for reimbursement, so having one can increase the likelihood of reimbursement if you plan to submit a claim.

We are happy to assist in obtaining an order or referral from your physician. Please contact us for more information.
