How Does Better Speech Work With Insurance?
At Better Speech, we make it easy to get reimbursed for your speech therapy sessions. While we do not bill insurance directly, we accept all insurance plans by providing you with a Superbill—a detailed invoice containing the information your insurance provider needs for reimbursement.
Our Superbill includes:
Diagnostic and treatment codes (ICD-10 and CPT codes)
Your speech-language pathologist’s (SLP) name and license number
Dates of each session
The amount you’ve paid
Better Speech's address, EIN, and NPI numbers
We recommend you contact your insurance provider to verify if they accept out-of-network Superbills for speech therapy. Once confirmed, we provide Superbills on a monthly basis, making it easier for you to submit for reimbursement.

What is a Superbill and How Does it Help?
A Superbill is a formal document provided by healthcare providers that allows patients to seek reimbursement from their insurance company for out-of-network services. Since Better Speech is considered an out-of-network provider, our Superbill is essential for helping you receive partial or full reimbursement for your therapy costs.
Here’s why Superbills are helpful:
Complete Breakdown of Charges: Each session and payment is listed, along with the necessary medical coding, to streamline the reimbursement process.
Ease of Submission: You can submit the Superbill to your insurance provider as frequently as necessary (monthly or at the end of treatment) to receive compensation for out-of-pocket expenses.
Transparency: All of your therapy details are clearly documented, helping you stay organized and informed about your care.
The Benefits of Speech Therapy for All Ages
Whether you’re seeking speech therapy for a child, toddler, or adult, the benefits of professional intervention are far-reaching. At Better Speech, we believe in early intervention and customized treatment plans to help individuals of all ages communicate more effectively.
Child and Toddler Speech Therapy: Early speech therapy can help children with articulation issues, language delays, and social communication disorders. Addressing these challenges early improves speech clarity, boosts confidence, and enhances social skills.
Adult Speech Therapy: Adults may seek therapy for various reasons, including stroke recovery, accent reduction, or improving fluency. Our tailored adult speech therapy sessions help improve cognitive communication skills and enhance overall quality of life.
Online Speech Therapy: Better Speech’s online format makes therapy accessible from anywhere, removing geographical barriers and providing flexible scheduling options to fit into your busy life.
How to Maximize Insurance Reimbursement
To get the most out of your insurance coverage for speech therapy, follow these tips:
Speak with Your Insurance Provider: Contact your insurance company before starting therapy to confirm they accept out-of-network Superbills for speech therapy services. Be sure to ask about coverage limitations and what percentage of reimbursement to expect.
Submit Superbills Monthly: Regular submissions of your Superbill can help you stay on top of insurance claims and avoid processing delays. This also makes it easier to track payments and reimbursement amounts.
Keep Detailed Records: Always retain copies of your Superbills, insurance correspondence, and payments. This can help resolve any disputes with your insurer and ensure you're properly reimbursed.
Verify Therapy Coverage Annually: Insurance plans often update their coverage details at the start of each year, so be sure to recheck your policy annually to stay informed.
By following these steps, you can ease the financial burden of speech therapy and maximize the benefits of your insurance plan.
