Speech pathology eval and insurance
It was only a 5 months wait so we visited the Speech Pathology specialist at NWH on April 28.
The tests where different from school psychologist tests but there was some overlap. These tests were addressing different aspects of language skills (need to put more details here). We spent almost 4 hours in the hospital - mostly with the specialist or waiting for her to score the tests. I believe she had no other evals scheduled for that day. This explains why they have such a long wait.
Report arrived and I called the insurance. From what they told me, if it had been a loss of speech due to the accident, injury or illness they would’ve pre-authorized the therapy. The fact that one has “moderate to severe speech disorder” and that the therapy is helpful in his case is not enough for get pre-authorization for services under this insurance plan.
I asked whether they provide coverage for dyslexics (since he potentially has it in his genes) - they said it has nothing to do with speech. Oh, well, too early to diagnose dyslexia anyway.
