Do Medi-Cal, Medicare, or other third-party insurers recognize SLPAs as authorized providers for the purposes of reimbursement?
Currently, both Medi-Cal (State-funded health coverage for those below set incomes) and Medicare (federal health care funding) do not have specific provisions for SLPAs; therefore, reimbursement for services provided by SLPAs is not authorized at this time. Discussions are ongoing and many interested parties are working toward creating provisions for SLPAs under both State and federal reimbursement guidelines.
