With Baptist's Closure of Pediatric Therapy, We Are Here to Help

If you are coming from Baptist and would like to transition your services to Progressive Pediatric Therapy, see below for the steps needed to reduce interruption in therapy services.

Continuing Your Child’s Care with Confidence


Progressive Pediatric Therapy is here to help children and families continue receiving the therapy services they need during this transition.


We understand that therapy is more than appointments. It is built on trust, relationships, and the progress your child has worked so hard to achieve. Our goal is to make this transition as seamless as possible by helping children continue therapy with the therapist they know whenever possible, at the Progressive Pediatric Therapy location that is most convenient for your family.


Our priority is to help your child continue with the therapist they know and trust whenever possible while receiving care at the Progressive Pediatric Therapy location that works best for your family.

Schedule Review

Our team will review your inquiry to determine whether we can accommodate your requested location, schedule, and therapy needs. We will then contact you to discuss availability. If we are able to meet your needs, we will ask you to complete our new patient registration forms.

Insurance Verification and Authorization

After we receive your child's signed therapy evaluation(s), discharge letter, and completed registration forms, we will verify your insurance benefits and obtain any required insurance authorization. We will keep you informed throughout this process.

Begin Therapy

Once insurance authorization is approved, your child's therapy can begin on or after August 24, when Baptist Health is no longer providing pediatric therapy services. Our team will make every effort to schedule your child at the agreed upon location and, whenever possible, with their current therapist to provide a smooth transition in care.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Will my child need a new evaluation?

    In many cases, no. If we receive your child’s current signed evaluation from Baptist Health and it remains valid under your insurance requirements, a new evaluation may not be necessary. If one is required, our team will let you know and help schedule it as quickly as possible.

  • When will my child begin therapy with Progressive Pediatric Therapy?

    Our goal is for your child’s therapy to continue without unnecessary interruption. Services with Progressive Pediatric Therapy are expected to begin on August 24, when Baptist Health is no longer providing pediatric therapy services. Once all required documentation has been been received and any necessary insurance authorization has been approved, our team will contact you to finalize your schedule and begin treatment.

    Your financial responsibility will continue to depend on your insurance plan, including deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. Our team will verify your benefits before services begin and explain any costs you may be responsible for.
