The document outlines the policies and procedures for sponsorships and renewals for speech language therapy provided by the Scottish Rite Language Disorders Clinic.

Introduction Summary

Scottish Rite Clinic is located at 514 West Street, Billings, MT, with contact number (406) 259-6683.

Policy Summary

This section outlines the guidelines for obtaining sponsorships for speech and language therapy for children.

  • Sponsorships provide speech and language therapy for children evaluated as appropriate by a licensed clinician.
  • Sponsorships are granted for a maximum of six months and can be renewed for an additional six months.
  • Applications must be completed by parents/guardians, and treatment plans require signatures from all parties involved.
  • Families with an annual income exceeding 400% of the Federal Poverty Guideline may have their applications rejected unless extraordinary circumstances are shown.
  • Sponsorships terminate when the child turns 18, but no sponsorship will end due to age before April 3, 2019. Scottish Rite is the "payer of last resort," meaning all other funding sources must be exhausted before sponsorship payments are made.

Step by Step Procedure for Initial Sponsorship Application

Parents or guardians must complete and submit the Application for Sponsorship and Treatment Plan forms to Scottish Rite, followed by an interview; upon approval, the Treatment Plan is shared with all parties.

Step by Step Procedure to Renew a Scottish Rite Sponsorship

Parents/guardians must ensure timely renewal of sponsorships by alerting clinicians at least two to three weeks before expiration. Clinicians complete the renewal form, and any significant changes in treatment sessions or financial conditions must be reported. Scottish Rite will not cover sessions without an active Treatment Plan.

Billing for Clinical Services

Clinics will send invoices every 30 days to Scottish Rite and parents per Treatment Plan.
