Speech Therapy Insurance & Benefits
At SpeechAim, all of our services are eligible for reimbursement through extended health benefits. Please note that we do not offer direct billing. After each session is completed, an official receipt will be emailed to you, which you can then submit directly to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
Coverage varies depending on your individual benefits plan, so we always recommend checking your policy before booking. If you are unsure where to start, you are welcome to give us a call at 437-777-1190, and our admin team will be happy to answer your questions.
