Do you take insurance?

Nalu Speech Therapy does not currently take insurance. We can provide a superbill upon request for you to submit to insurance. A superbill is a receipt of the speech services you’ve already received and paid for with billing compliant information listed, CPT (procedure codes) and ICD-10 (diagnosis codes). Depending on your goals we can provide you with the billing code that is most appropriate to you. You can then submit the superbill to your insurance company for possible reimbursement for out-of-network services.

 

By not billing insurance directly this allow us to provide the most client centered therapy possible. We are given the flexibility to provide services to you that may not be covered by your insurance. This allows us to treat the whole body, rather than just one part of the body. Giving our Speech Language Pathologists full autonomy to provide the highest level of care for what you need. 

​

When calling your insurance to verify your out-of-network speech therapy, here are some questions to ask:

• Are visits to an “out-of-network” Licensed Speech Language Pathologists reimbursable?

• Is there a limit to the number of visits that can be reimbursed?

• Do I have a deductible to meet before insurance pays?

• Are teletherapy services covered?  

 

Do I need a referral from our doctor?

No! Since we do not accept medical insurance, there is no need for a family doctor or pediatrician referral.
