6 Steps in Your Communication Journey
Start Your Conversation
Everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard, and AbleNet makes starting the communication journey easy. A short conversation with AbleNet is all it takes, and you’ll be able to help your client or student start their communication journey.
Submit a Benefit Check
A benefit check is a form you complete to verify medical insurance coverage before you spend the time showing it to the family, trialing it with the client or student, or writing the speech evaluation. In many cases, we provide benefit details the same day the benefit check request is submitted.
AbleNet Handles all the Communication
We contact the doctor for the DME order, the family for the insurance cards, and handle all communication with the insurer.
You can check the status of your funding request at any time using our FN Status tool.
Trial Devices
After receiving the results of your benefit check, a trial and access to communication can start in as little as 2-days. You keep the trial device and access to communication until the insurer provides a decision, or you decide it’s not the right fit.
Write the Speech Evaluation
90% of SLPs use AbleNet’s online speech evaluation tool to ensure their report meets the insurer’s requirements and save time. AbleNet provides the link to your insurer-specific online speech evaluation tool after you complete a benefit check.
ableCARE Support
Our ableCARE team provides incidence-based product support, including help getting started with the device or speech app, speech app swaps, and free keyguards. When something breaks, repairs are completed the day they are received to ensure communication is consistently available.
