Is speech therapy covered by insurance?
At Back 2 You Speech Language Pathology we are in-network with Medicare, Highmark, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Univera and Independent Health.
How do I know if my insurance will cover therapy services?
The best way to find out is to call and ask your insurance company. Good questions to ask include;
What will my co-pay be?
Is there a session limit?
What is my out of pocket maximum?
Do I have a deductible?
What if you do not accept my insurance?
You can call your insurance and ask if you have out of network benefits that would cover the services you require or your SLP can give you a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
Can insurance deny services?
Yes, if services are deemed not medically necessary your insurance can deny payment for speech therapy services. Your Speech Language Pathologist will make sure to complete individualized, standardized, objective and detailed reports to support the requested services if therapy is needed.
