OUT-OF-NETWORK INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT

Before contacting us, please call your insurance company to find out if you are eligible for out-of-network (you pay us and the insurance company reimburses you) speech language therapy and/or evaluation reimbursement. We do not accept insurance payments. For out-of-network reimbursement, see if your insurance company accepts CPT code 92507, and if they require an ICD-10 code (as of 10/1/15 ICD-9 codes can no longer be used, please refer to this link for ICD-9 to ICD-10 conversion)(furnished from an evaluation, e.g. speech language pathologist, psychologist, audiologist, ENT, neurologist etc). We provide evaluations (CPT code 92506). Speech language therapy is a medical necessity, when there is a significant speech language delay and/or issue. If your insurance company requests a predetermination note, ask your physician.

We are out-of-network providers (you pay us directly). We provide you with a monthly receipt of paid speech and language therapy services; you submit this to your insurance company for reimbursement. Payment (cash or check) is expected on a weekly basis.
