New Patients
We’re happy your family is joining our pediatric therapy clinic in Missoula, MT! On this page, we’ve put together some basic information for your first appointment.
If you have any questions, give us a call at:
We understand how important therapy is for your child’s development. That’s why we work with you to make payments simple and more affordable.
We accept Medicaid and all major private insurance plans except for United Healthcare. If you have Medicaid insurance, you will need a referral from your primary care provider.
Cost should not be a barrier to your child receiving the therapy they need for success. If you have any questions or concerns, we’ll help you with resources and support to ensure you can get the health care your child needs.
The first step is an evaluation of your child’s current abilities. This will include new patient forms, and we recommend arriving at your first appointment 15 minutes early so you can fill these out before meeting with our therapists.
During the evaluation, we will discuss your child’s medical history and what struggles they’re facing that therapy can improve. We will also work with your child to evaluate their current abilities and limitations.
After the evaluation, our therapists will go over the results with you, answer any questions you have, and determine the best plan of care for your child’s needs. We will also send a copy of this evaluation to your child’s pediatrician.
Lastly, we will work with you to determine the best schedule for your child’s therapy sessions. We offer flexible scheduling options to meet your family’s needs.
Samara Therapy Specialists is committed to providing families with the best possible care. Consistent, weekly therapy in accordance with your therapist’s recommended plan of care, has been shown to help improve your child’s skills sooner and reach their goals.
- Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance to avoid a cancellation fee of $50. The fee is payable by the family, not insurance.
- No-shows will be charged the cancellation fee of $50, payable by the family, not insurance.
- Clients who miss 3+ appointments due to no-shows or late cancellations may lose the placement of their reserved, weekly appointment time.
Rescheduling Policy
When a child cancels or fails to show up to his/her scheduled appointment, it prevents another child from being seen. We understand that keeping weekly recurring appointments can be challenging. We ask that all cancellations be rescheduled to keep your child on track to achieving their goals.
Please call/text us at 406-830-4500 by 2:00 PM one business day before your appointment to cancel or reschedule. For Monday appointments, please notify us by 2:00 PM Friday. If you cancel your appointment, you must reschedule a makeup session within a week to keep your regular, weekly appointment time.
It should also be understood that your child may need to see a clinician other than the one who normally treats him/her. All of our clinicians are experienced professionals. He/she will return to the original clinician in the next regularly scheduled visit.
