Joyce, Another option you might want to consider if insurance won't cover it, is contacting your local fraternity like the Loyal Order of the Moose, Elks Club or something like that. They usually have "community projects" that they contribute to and will help out. My daughter did hippotherapy for 8 1/2 years, (way before it was even accepted as a "therapy") and my folks Moose lodge collected aluminum cans and gave me a check every month to pay for her sessions. Our facility also gave scholarships so our cost was reduced. Now that most insurance companies recognize hippotherapy as theraputic because they get the one-on-one with the PT. Another key thing to find out is if the program is Accredited. The way you can find out is there is a web site at http://www.narha.org There you can find your state and then find your program. If there is a * next to the name, then they are accredited, thereby should be covered by your insurance. Another thing, if you haven't already is call your insurance customer relations or whatever they call it and ask if they cover hippotherapy by an accredited program. Hope this helps.
