In most cases, yes. Cortica is in-network with many major health insurance plans, and our Westlake Village team verifies your coverage, checks eligibility and benefits, and handles authorizations directly with your insurer. Coverage can vary by plan type, home state, and which services your child receives.

Before care begins we provide a benefits check and a cost estimate, so you know what to expect. Self-pay options are available if your plan is not in-network.

Your child's care team recommends it, so you do not have to work it out alone. During the initial evaluation at our Westlake Village center, a Cortica pediatrician or neurologist assesses your child's strengths and areas of need, then recommends the combination of therapies that fits their goals.

That plan may include ABA therapy, speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, music therapy, medical care, or mental health counseling, and it is adjusted as your child progresses.
