Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a physician order or referral for speech therapy claims?

Coverage rules vary by payer, but many insurers require a physician’s order or Plan of Care (POC) certification to process claims, especially for Medicare and specific private plans. We track these signatures to ensure they are on file before billing.

Why are claims rejected, and how can I avoid them?

Common causes include incorrect modifiers (missing the GN modifier), missing documentation, or eligibility issues. Verifying benefits, using correct modifiers, and submitting complete documentation help reduce denials.

Can speech pathologists bill Medicare?

Yes. Speech-language pathologists can bill Medicare Part B for medically necessary speech therapy services when provided by a licensed SLP under a physician-certified plan of care, with proper documentation and correct CPT coding.
