Your questions answered — and the research behind the work.

For Myofunctional Therapy, you do not need to schedule a consultation first. However, a consultation prior to booking an assessment can help determine if myofunctional therapy is the best course of treatment. For Early Intervention Parent/Caregiver Coaching, a consultation is required prior to booking an assessment.

You do not need a referral to book an appointment. However, if you have been referred by a dentist, orthodontist, ENT, or other provider, Lauren is happy to coordinate directly with your care team. Bringing any relevant records or notes to your evaluation is helpful but not required.

Triple Point Speech Therapy is an out-of-network provider. We do not bill insurance directly. However, a superbill will be provided at the time of service, which you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. We encourage you to check with your insurance company prior to booking to determine your out-of-network costs.

Common CPT codes for myofunctional therapy:

CPT 92610	Evaluation of oral swallowing function
CPT 92526	Treatment of swallowing dysfunction and/or oral function for feeding
CPT 92507	Treatment of speech, language, voice, communication, and/or hearing processing disorder

It is common for insurance companies to require modifiers. The most common modifier is 95 for all telehealth sessions. Some insurance providers require specific codes (e.g. GN).

Current session rates are listed on our booking page. Payment is due at the time of service. If you are not able to cover the costs of services, please contact us directly and we will work with you on a solution.

A superbill is an itemized receipt that includes the diagnostic and procedure codes your insurance company needs to process an out-of-network claim. Lauren provides one after every session. You submit it directly to your insurer, who then reimburses you according to your out-of-network benefit level.

Orofacial myofunctional therapy is a structured, exercise-based program that retrains the muscles of the face, mouth, and throat. It addresses dysfunction in how we breathe, swallow, and position our tongue and lips at rest — patterns that, when incorrect, can drive a wide range of symptoms including mouth breathing, sleep disruption, orthodontic relapse, and speech errors.

The number of sessions varies greatly depending on the nature and severity of the disorder, the client's age, and consistency with home exercises. We understand the time and cost involved in treatment — our goal is to be effective and efficient. Lauren will provide a clear estimate after the initial evaluation.

If an articulation or fluency disorder is found to be related to an underlying myofunctional disorder, yes — Lauren will provide therapy focused on those areas as well. Triple Point Speech Therapy does not currently offer services for expressive, receptive, or social communication disorders, or AAC (augmentative and alternative communication).

Yes. OMT has a growing and robust evidence base, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses supporting its use for obstructive sleep apnea, dysfunctional swallow patterns, tongue tie rehabilitation, and orthodontic stability. ASHA recognizes orofacial myofunctional disorders as within the scope of practice for speech-language pathologists. See the Research section below for peer-reviewed citations.

Parent/Caregiver Coaching is for caregivers with children under 4 years of age who have already been diagnosed with a communication delay and would like additional support — or who have concerns about communication development and are seeking an assessment and treatment. The Parent/Caregiver Coaching model for Early Intervention (ages 0–3) is the gold standard therapy model and involves working directly with parents and caregivers in the home environment, so they learn the tools to support their child's communication growth throughout the week, not just during sessions.

Note: Early Intervention (EI) services are free through government funding of local Regional Centers in California for all children under 3 years of age. Ask your pediatrician for more information about services in your area.

Yes. This service requires a consultation prior to booking an assessment.

Both options are available depending on location and specific needs. Telehealth sessions are available throughout California.

Triple Point Speech Therapy is an out-of-network provider. We do not bill insurance directly, but a superbill is provided at the time of service for you to submit to your insurer.

Common CPT codes for Early Intervention:

CPT 92523	Evaluation of speech sound production with evaluation of language comprehension and expression
CPT 92507	Treatment of speech, language, voice, communication, and/or hearing processing disorder

Most common modifiers include 95 for telehealth and code GN.

If you have feeding concerns, Lauren will evaluate to determine whether difficulties with breastfeeding/bottle feeding, transitioning to solids, eating certain foods, or picky eating are related specifically to a myofunctional disorder. If so, Lauren will work with you and your infant or toddler on re-establishing proper function for feeding, chewing, and swallowing, and help build a more well-rounded diet.

Yes. However, all myofunctional therapy evaluations and the first therapy session are conducted in-person at the clinic, with occasional exceptions. Please inquire directly to see if telehealth is appropriate for your situation. All Early Intervention Parent/Caregiver Coaching sessions are available via telehealth throughout California.

Yes — and it works well. Most myofunctional therapy involves observing and practicing movements, breathing patterns, and exercises that are entirely visible on a standard camera. Many clients prefer telehealth for the convenience of attending sessions from home, and outcomes are comparable to in-person care for most OMT programs.

Sessions are conducted through Jane's secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will need a device with a camera and microphone (smartphone, tablet, or computer) and a reliable internet connection. A link is sent to you before each appointment — no app download is required.

Pre-release myofunctional therapy is strongly recommended by most tongue tie–informed providers. Working with Lauren before a lip and tongue tie release helps the patient understand correct movement patterns, reduces the risk of scar tissue reattachment, and typically improves post-release outcomes. Lauren can coordinate directly with your child's dentist or ENT.

Yes. Lauren works with infants experiencing feeding difficulties related to tongue or lip tie, including poor latch, slow weight gain, gassiness, and reflux. She can evaluate oral function and coordinate with your lactation consultant and pediatric dentist or ENT to determine the most appropriate path forward.
