OUT-OF-NETWORK SPEECH THERAPY BENEFITS
HEALTH AND SPEEC PLLC provides a complimentary service to assist in determining whether your health insurance offers out-of-network (OON) benefits for speech-language and swallowing therapy. This service can lead to substantial savings on therapy costs, as some insurance plans may offer partial reimbursement for sessions with therapists outside your insurance network.
Please note that while HEALTH AND SPEECH PLLC can help estimate your eligibility for these benefits, payment for all services is required upfront at the time of service. If your insurance offers (OON) benefits you will be provided with a monthly invoice or superbill and codes, which you can submit to your insurance company for any approved OON reimbursement.
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the following information:
1. Know Your Policy: It is crucial to understand the details of your insurance policy. Most insurance plans come with deductibles, coinsurance, and/or copayments that are solely your responsibility at the time of your visit. Being aware of these financial aspects can help you plan accordingly.
2. Primary Care Physician (PCP): Certain insurance plans require you to choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP) before seeking specialist care. Ensure that you have designated a PCP if your policy mandates it.
3. Out-of-Network Providers: At HEALTH AND SPEECH PLLC, we accept private pay, Medicaid, Medicare, and Aetna insurance plans. We are considered an out-of-network provider for other insurances. This means that we may not have direct contracts with your insurance company. We encourage you to directly communicate with your insurance company regarding your Out-Of-Network (OON) benefits.
4. Superbills for Insurance Reimbursement: We offer superbills for speech-language and swallowing therapy services provided. A superbill is a detailed invoice that includes all the necessary information required by your insurance company for reimbursement purposes. It is your responsibility to submit these superbills to your insurance company for direct reimbursement to you. You will be provided with the necessary superbills and guidance to assist you in this process.
5. Referrals for Specialist Visits: Some insurance plans require referrals from your Primary Care Physician before you can see a specialist. It is your responsibility to know if your policy necessitates referrals for specialist visits. Failure to obtain the required referrals may affect your coverage.
6. Understanding Your Benefits: It is essential to thoroughly understand your insurance benefits. If your insurance does not cover certain services, you will be responsible for payment at the time of the visit. Being well-informed about your coverage can help you make informed decisions regarding your healthcare expenses.
We value our relationship with you and want to ensure that your experience with us is as seamless as possible. By staying informed about your insurance policy and responsibilities, you can help us provide you with the best possible care.
Thank you for choosing HEALTH AND SPEECH PLLC for your speech-language-swallowing therapy needs!
