In my never ending quest to get my clients' therapy covered (partially covered) by their insurance companies (which they should!), I have finally found codes that are actually accepted without a problem (most of the time).
Use the following * CPT CODES :
CPT 92506 may be used to report evaluation of speech, language, voice, communication, auditory processing, and/or aural rehabilitation status.
CPT 92507 may be used for the treatment of speech, language, voice, communication, and/or auditory processing disorder.
*These codes are considered comprehensive and therefore cover a broader range of diagnostic and therapeutic services.
The ICD-9 codes will vary according to your client's diagnosis. I use the following with success:
ICD-9 784.6 may be used for the treatment of a receptive/expressive language impairment.
ICD-9 784.69 may be used for the treatment of apraxia of speech or CAS (childhood apraxia of speech).
TIPS:
- Always remember to obtain your client's reference number and put it on each bill beneath your client's name.
- Always include your state licensure number, your ASHA certification number and your Tax I.D. on the bottom of each bill.
- Always keep a copy of your bills and any correspondence you receive from your client's insurance company.
GOOD LUCK!
