IN-HOME THERAPY

Who is eligible for In-Home Therapy services?
We are able to support any child/young adult ages 3-21 covered by MassHeath. This includes: MBHP, BMC HealthNet Plan, Network Health, Neighborhood Health Plan (Beacon Health Strategies) and Fallon Community Health Plan (Beacon Health Strategies).

How long will the In-Home Therapy Team be working with my family?
The team will work with your family for as long as there is a demonstrated medical necessity; in other words, as long as you need us.

I work all day. Can the In-Home Therapy Team meet with my family in the evening?
Yes. This service is designed to be flexible and respect families’ schedules.

Do we always have to meet in my home?
This service focuses on work in the family home. However, if there is an occasional need to meet elsewhere, we will do our best to accommodate you.

Who can make a referral for In-Home Therapy?
In-Home Therapy is a voluntary service, and referrals are welcome from anyone, including parents/legal guardians, therapists, DCF (Mass. Department of Children and Families), inpatient treatment facility clinicians, teachers and school administrators. However, if parents or legal guardians are not making their own referral, they should sign a release authorizing others to do so.
