GIC Plans
There are a number of insurance companies that participate in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' employer-sponsored health plan. Most of these plans will accept bills from any licensed speech-language pathologist in the state, however, there are limitations to speech therapy coverage through GIC.
GIC Limitations and exclusions:
Step 1: Call Member Services - the number is on your card
Step 2: Once you have determined that your disorder is eligible for coverage, follow the instructions appropriate to the insurance company managing your plan.
GIC Limitations and exclusions:
- Voice disorders are explicitly excluded from coverage under many GIC policies
- Need for speech therapy must be due to a specific injury or physical abnormality, therefore many childhood disorders (such as speech sound disorders, receptive and expressive speech disorders and stuttering are generally excluded from coverage)
