Health Insurance and TapToTalk

You may be covered

Each plan differs in what it covers and what the requirements are to obtain reimbursement. Because of this, we do not know if you will be covered. Contact your insuror or health care provider to find out if they will reimburse you for TapToTalk. You may find that you get better service if you request a case manager who is familiar with the diagnosis that led to the need for TapToTalk (autism, Down syndrome, Parkinson's, apraxia, etc.).
