GETTING THERAPY SERVICES STARTED:

Referral process: Midlands Therapy Services accepts referrals from parents, doctors, Babynet, health departments and other state agencies serving children in South Carolina. To self-refer your child for therapy please call us at: 803-359-3195

Prescription: Whether you self-refer or are referred from your child’s primary physician, we will need a prescription to evaluate and treat for therapy. You can have your physician fax it directly to us at 803-520-8398.

Proof of insurance: A copy of your primary insurance card and/or your child’s Medicaid card. If your child is covered under your private insurance and also has Medicaid, we ask that you bring both cards to the initial evaluation appointment. Medicaid requires us to bill the primary insurance first before they will pay for services.

Intake paperwork: Once all of the appropriate information is received we can assign the best therapist(s) to your child. The therapist(s) will call you to set up your child’s first appointment. Before your evaluation please complete the appropriate documents found on the forms page, the information is necessary for the therapists to complete your child’s evaluation. Please be as thorough as possible. (Scroll down to enter patient intake form details or update an existing patient's account)
