Ashley Johnson, M.S., CCC-SLP, Director/Owner of Speak Up Speech Therapy, LLC and her Colleagues, are contracted, in-network providers with many insurance companies in the area. If there is an insurance our Providers are not contracted with, our office will confirm if your insurance allows you to see an out of network provider and what the out of network benefits might be for therapy.

Our office will bill claims to those insurances Speak Up Speech Therapy is contracted with. We will also bill out-of-network insurance policies per patient request. You will be responsible for payment for all services provided once your insurance coverage has been depleted, and for any denied claims due to non-coverage. This includes denials from your insurance company due to a determination that a service is considered “not medically necessary.” The patient/guarantor is also responsible for any out-of-pocket expense, such as copayments, coinsurance or deductible amounts and any other fees deemed by the insurance company as “patient responsibility.”

Payments are due within 15 days upon receipt of the invoice. You agree to notify me concerning any dispute or question relating to my statement within 15 days after receipt thereof; otherwise, the statement shall be deemed approved by you.

It is your responsibility to seek information regarding your policy’s coverage and any limitations on coverage, and to acquire a referral or pre-authorization if required. If your insurance company fails to reimburse for services after 60 days, you will be responsible for any unpaid balance on your account. If your insurance company eventually sends payment, you will be reimbursed. Any unpaid balance over 60 days is subject to a finance charge and possible collection action.

Non-insurance billable fees
If you should need to cancel your session, we ask that you provide at least 24 hours notice prior to cancelling. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours will be charged a $30 fee. If you do not cancel and you fail to show up for a session, you will be charged a $60 no-show fee. If your account balance remains unpaid after 30 days, our office will assess a monthly rebill fee of $10 on any unpaid patient balance. If payment continues to be delinquent after 60 days, the account will be turned over to a collections agency. At that time, an additional fee of $200 will be applied to the delinquent account. If checks are returned due to insufficient funds, a $30 NSF fee will be added to the balance of the account.
