Billing and Coding: Speech Language Pathology (SLP) Services: Communication Disorders

This billing and coding guidance specifies that SLP services for communication disorders are covered when reasonable and necessary per LCD L35070, with specific CPT codes for speech-generating device selection/prescription (92607) and adaptation/training (92609). Group therapy should be billed with 92508 only when patients are not receiving one-on-one contact and are supervised; documentation must be legible, include patient identifiers and provider signature, and support the selected ICD-10-CM and CPT/HCPCS codes. Do not bill for services not covered by the LCD and use the appropriate modifier when billing non-covered services.
