When verifying patient benefits for speech therapy it’s important to check benefits using payer portals and also call payers to confirm benefits checks.
When calling a payer, you should always ask for speech therapy benefits first. The payer representative will then rattle off all the benefits for speech therapy. It is then wise to always check specific CPT codes to ensure you know the limitations of each code if there are any and if the deductible applies.
