Speech Therapy Billing Services

Spend more time helping your patients find their voice — and less time chasing payments. PracticeMate’s speech therapy billing services are tailored to the unique needs of SLPs and speech therapy practices, ensuring accurate claims, higher collections, and peace of mind.

Why Speech Therapy Billing Is Different And Why You Need an Expert

As a speech-language pathologist (SLP) or speech therapy clinic owner, you know how crucial accurate documentation and coding are for timely payments. But the reality is:

  • Speech therapy billing involves complex CPT codes and medical necessity documentation.
  • Sessions often exceed frequency or duration limits, triggering denials.
  • Insurance payers scrutinize therapy plans closely for justification.
  • Managing authorizations, re-evaluations, and progress reports alongside billing can overwhelm your staff.

That’s where our speech therapy billing experts come in — ensuring you navigate these challenges with ease and get paid what you’re owed.
