Spasmodic Dysphonia Bulletin Board

I didn't actually receive any "speech therapy" per se. I was treated by a team - an ENT and a Speech Pathologist. They consulted each other when treating me. I guess the "Speech Therapy" charge was for the service provided by the Speech Pathologist.

My health plan is just a regular plan. Since I was treated at a big University Hospital, I guess the claim they submitted to insurance company was more "convincing/credible" and insurance company paid for them all.

For my first visit, there was a lady from billing department sitting in auditing the whole process. I guess the billing department wanted to make sure both ENT and Speech Pathologist were indeed needed in treating SD.

I think you can probably find out from dr office you are going to how charges will be submitted and how insurance company normally pays for their claims.
