Frequently Asked Questions
Efficient speech pathology billing is crucial to treating communication disorders effectively. However, speech pathologists have their concerns regarding the billing process. Below we have answered some questions that they frequently ask. Whether you’re practicing speech pathology individually or affiliated with a hospital, these will effectively clear your confusion. Let’s have a look:
1) How do I determine what codes to use for speech pathology billing?
Codes are determined by the patient’s condition, documented session details, and the type of care provided — for example, evaluation codes versus treatment codes. Our professionals also revise codes regularly to ensure continued adherence with CPT and ICD-10 updates.
2) Is pre-authorization required for speech pathology services?
It depends on the payer — many insurers require pre-authorization for speech therapy, especially for extended treatment plans. The safe practice is verifying requirements before treatment begins; our authorization team handles this verification directly with payers.
3) How can I bill for my online speech pathology services?
Telepractice is billed using the same service codes as in-person therapy — such as 92507 for treatment — with modifier 95 for commercial payers or place of service 02 for Medicare, plus session documentation as evidence of the visit. Correct, updated codes ensure fair pay for your teletherapy services.
