When parents call the insurance company
regarding coverage of therapy services, there are several important
questions they need to ask:
- 1. My child is ____old. Does our policy cover his speech services?
- 2. What conditions will insurance specifically cover?
- 3. What ICD-9 (diagnosis) codes and CPT (treatment) codes are covered for reimbursement?
- 4. Do I need to obtain a prescription for therapy services?
- 5. Do I need to obtain precertification for therapy services?
- 6. Which conditions are specifically excluded from treatment?
- 7. How many sessions will insurance cover? Is there a time limit?
- 8. Do I have a deductible or co-pay?
- 9. Do I need to schedule all of the visits by a certain date?
- 10. Does insurance cover out of network therapy services?
- 11. How do I get
reimbursed for out of pocket therapy expenses? What do I need to provide
the insurance company with?
