Private Health Plans

Typically, a health benefit plan is a contract between your employer and a third party (an insurance company). These contracts vary widely depending on the benefits and coverage levels negotiated by your employer. Oftentimes, the benefits information provided by your health plan is confusing leaving you unsure of what speech and/or hearing services will or won't be covered.
Remember, the benefits booklet you receive is merely a summary of benefits not actual contract language. You may need to examine the policy or contract to truly understand your health plan's coverage and limitations. The policy or contract can be obtained from your benefits manager.
It is vital that you review the speech and hearing benefits information provided by your health plan and employer before you receive services.
