Navigating insurance reimbursement for speech therapy can be complex, but with the right steps, it becomes manageable. At Better Speech, we assist you by providing a detailed Superbill, which is a key document needed for insurance claims. This post explains how you can use this Superbill to get reimbursed for your out-of-pocket expenses and what you need to know to handle your insurance claims effectively.
This guide will walk you through the steps to use our Superbill for insurance claims and make the most of your coverage.
In this article, we will discuss:
Understanding Your Insurance Coverage
To learn more about your specific insurance coverages, begin by contacting your insurance provider to verify whether they cover out-of-network speech therapy services. Each insurance plan is different, so understanding your specific coverage is essential for managing your expenses effectively.
If out-of-network speech therapy is covered, ask your insurer about their process for reimbursing these services. This includes understanding whether they accept Superbills and what documentation is required for reimbursement.

Requesting and Using Your Superbill
Before requesting and using your Superbill, it’s important to understand what a Superbill is. A Superbill is a detailed document that includes crucial information about your speech therapy sessions. This includes diagnostic codes (ICD 10), treatment codes (CPT), the name and license number of your Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), session dates, and payment amounts.
At Better Speech, you can request a Superbill directly from us. We provide this document on a monthly basis if needed, ensuring you have the most current and accurate information for your insurance claim.
The Superbill will also feature Better Speech’s address, EIN #, NPI #, and our contact information, which are essential for your insurance claim process.
Completing Your Insurance Claim Form
After requesting online speech therapy, your insurance company will provide an insurance claim form. Complete this form, ensuring you accurately enter all required information and attach the Superbill as part of your submission.
Some insurance companies may require additional documents or information. Ensure you have all the necessary paperwork to avoid delays in processing your claim.
Submitting Your Claim and Tracking Progress
Depending on your insurer, you can submit your claim form and Superbill online, by mail, or via email. Online submission is often the quickest and most convenient method.
After submitting your claim, regularly check its status with your insurance provider. Most insurance companies offer online portals where you can view updates and track the progress of your claim.
If there are any issues or discrepancies with your claim, be prepared to provide additional information or clarification as requested by your insurance provider.
