Duke Speech Pathology at Lenox Baker

Open
Type:Duke University Hospital Outpatient Department
Hospital-based clinics are outpatient departments of an individual Duke hospital and have additional facility charges. Some insurance companies process bills with a deductible and coinsurance rather than as a co-pay as for an office visit. This may impact the amount of the bill you are responsible for after payment from your insurance plan. Check with your insurance company before your visit to determine what your responsibility will be.

Duke Speech Pathology at Lenox Baker provides individualized speech, language, cognitive, swallowing, and communication services to adults and children. Our providers are equipped with the specialized training and expertise necessary to provide care that is tailored to each person’s individual needs.
