​

• Communication and language assistants

• Special education technician

​

Client Responsibilities

It is your responsibility to:

​

• verify the details of your insurance coverage (e.g., whether a medical prescription is required, which services are eligible, limitations, exclusions, and documents needed);

• submit your receipts directly to your insurer for reimbursement.

​

Cabinet JBM:

​

• does not carry out any procedures with insurance companies;

• does not send documents or receipts directly to insurers;

• cannot answer questions regarding the specific coverage of different insurance plans.

​

However, an estimate can be provided upon request to support your verification process.

​

Why verify your insurance coverage before the first appointment?

Reviewing your coverage before the first appointment allows you to understand:

​

• your reimbursement limits (per hour, per appointment, per day, or per year);

• which services are eligible or excluded under your plan;

• any conditions or restrictions specific to your contract.

​

Having this information from the outset:

​

• facilitates the discussion with the speech-language pathologist during the service planning appointment;

• helps plan a realistic and coherent service pathway aligned with your coverage;

• prevents surprises or unexpected adjustments along the way.

​

Speech-Language Assessment and Splitting Fees

If a speech-language assessment is planned, knowing your insurance details in advance also helps determine whether splitting the invoice may improve reimbursement.

​

When insurance information is shared with the speech-language pathologist before or during the service planning appointment, it is sometimes possible to adapt the invoicing to meet the insurer’s requirements — always within ethical guidelines and based strictly on services actually provided.
