Does my policy cover speech therapy charges?
Most health insurance policies cover speech therapy, but each policy is different. It is important for you to know your individual policy. Read your policy carefully and contact your insurance company or Human Resource representative to obtain specific exclusions or limitations your policy may have in regards to speech therapy.

Why won’t my insurance pay the charges for speech therapy? My policy states speech therapy is covered.
Your insurance may or may not cover the therapy charges. Policies typically have exclusions and limitations. Coverage depends upon your specific diagnosis and your policy parameters.

How are a copayment and co-insurance different?
A copayment is a flat dollar amount designated by your insurance policy. Co-insurance is a percentage of fees you split with the insurance company. Both copayments and co-insurance are your payment responsibility at the beginning of each visit.

Does speech therapy count against my deductible?
Yes. You are responsible for paying the deductible amount if there is a deductible on your policy.

Why does it take so long for the insurance to issue an authorization?
Most insurance policies do not require a pre-certification or authorization to obtain speech therapy service. Since authorizations are not required. The insurance company does not have to provide this documentation within any specified timeframe. At Speech Pathways, however, we feel it is best to obtain written authorization in the form of a pre-determination.
