The staff of the Memphis Speech and Hearing Center is comprised of certified, licensed clinicians and teaching faculty as well as administrative personnel. Client services provided by graduate students are under the supervision of certified, licensed audiologists and speech-language pathologists. In addition to seeing clients and providing clinical supervision for graduate students, the speech-language pathologists and audiologists also conduct research and participate in prevention and early identification programs. These specialists provide consultations and work closely with other professionals in health education. A deferred payment plan is available upon request.
Clients are responsible for filing their own insurance claims.
Many of the treatment programs provided at the Center qualify for insurance reimbursement, although coverage levels vary widely among insurance companies. Most insurance plans require referral by a physician. The Client Assistance Program, established with a seed grant by the Center's Board of Directors, offers qualified clients assistance with a portion of their expenses incurred at our Center. The Center's main facility is located at 807 Jefferson Avenue in the midst of the Memphis Medical Complex. A satellite facility, known as the Kennedy Center, is located at Park and Getwell in Building 44 on the South Campus of The University of Memphis.
