Navigating Funding So You Don't Have To

Medicare

Medicare often covers augmentative and alternative communication devices, when there is a medical necessity.

Policies that include durable medical equipment (DME) benefits are often able to cover eye-tracking devices.

Our funding team can help you determine the documents you will need to submit and help you navigate the process from start to finish.

Medicaid

Each state Medicaid funding agency has unique requirements, but AAC devices are often considered a medical necessity.

Our funding team can help you identify the documents you will need to submit in order to enjoy the life-changing benefits of an EyeOn device.

Private Insurance

EyeTech works with most commercial and Private insurance companies including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, and United Healthcare.

If EyeTech is not contracted with a particular insurance carrier, we work with their utilization management department to negotiate a one-time exception or single-case-agreement, should the patient reach the payers medical necessity requirements.

Outside Funding Resources

In the event medical insurance is not an option due to payer guidelines, EyeTech is able to work with organizations outside of traditional medical insurance to help fund your EyeOn device.

Options include state and federal funded programs and private organizations, such as Telephone Access Programs.

EyeTech is also open to working with organizations in your community that may be able to contribute towards funding your device.

The Step-by-Step Insurance Funding Process

Meet with a Speech Language Pathologist

A speech-language pathologist (SLP) will conduct an assessment and provide an evaluation of your specific communication needs. A signed Speech Evaluation Form will need to be submitted by your SLP. This form can be sent to us electronically or by traditional fax at 855-437-1570.

Schedule an Appointment with Your Doctor

After your SLP conducts an assessment, your physician will write a Prescription for the device and provide a Letter of Medical Necessity. These forms can be submitted to us electronically or if your doctor prefers the old fashioned way, sent to us by fax at 855-437-1570.

Fill Out a Few Insurance Forms

Fill out the Client Information Form and Assignment of Benefits with your information. These forms can be submitted electronically or handed to us when we meet with you in person.

And We’ll Do the Rest

After receiving all necessary forms from you, your SLP, and physician, we will submit all documentation to your insurance company for processing. The insurance company reviews to decide if you are approved for coverage of a speech generating device.

Delivery & Setup of Your EyeOn

After we receive approval from your insurance, we will arrange for delivery of your EyeOn speech generating device to your home, in-person setup of your mount, and virtual training with our Success Coach team.
