Speech Therapy Medical Billing Services
Speech therapy billing requires precise code selection across evaluations, dysphagia, and treatment services. Atlas brings SLP-specific expertise to make sure your clinicians' work translates into full reimbursement.

...but many deal with similar issues. We bring our experience from working with many other speech therapy groups to help you navigate the key questions for your practice.
How involved should I be in my billing?
You want to know everything and do nothing. You are the business owner and your biller should help you understand your business — what's working, what's not, and where the money is going. The right billing partner makes that effortless.
Which insurances should I credential with?
Payers can vary wildly in pay rates. In one of our first meetings with new clients, we review current pay rates by insurer to establish which ones are worth keeping. Not every payer is worth the paperwork — some pay well and process fast, others are slow, deny often, and reimburse poorly.
How do I negotiate better payer rates?
You need to push for better rates up front and ask for a raise every year. With insurance companies, the more you ask, the more you get. Most practices accept whatever rates payers offer at credentialing and never revisit them — that's leaving money on the table.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Atlas handle speech therapy evaluation coding? +
Our coders are trained on the full range of SLP evaluation codes — 92521 (fluency), 92522 (speech sound production), 92523 (speech-language comprehension), and 92524 (behavioral analysis). We ensure each evaluation is coded to the correct level based on documentation, preventing both undercoding and audit risk.
How long does the transition take? +
Most practices are fully transitioned within 30 days. We run in parallel with your current billing operation during the overlap period so there is zero disruption to your cash flow and no claims fall through the cracks.
Do you provide a dedicated billing manager? +
Yes. Every Atlas client gets a dedicated billing manager with a direct phone number you can call or text anytime. Your billing manager knows your payer mix, your fee schedules, and your practice inside and out.
Are there long-term contracts? +
No. We work on month-to-month agreements because we believe you should stay with us because of results, not because of a contract. Most of our clients have been with us for years.
