Who might benefit from speech and or language sessions? 

     Adults

​

​

If you have medical insurance through work or a private plan, (i.e, Sun Life, Blue Cross, Great West Insurance, Manulife or other), check the information listed about reimbursement. Most just seem to require a receipt with our speech-language pathologist's practice permit number on it. Take a look at the percentage of reimbursement your plan lists in their information.

Some employers may also have flex plans for some expenses.

In addition, if you plan on using your receipts for a partial refund for taxes, please check to see if there is a minimum total amount of medical expenses required before a partial refund is given. 

It is this SLP's understanding that the government program, Alberta Health Care Insurance, does not cover costs for private practice speech and language therapy. If applicants have an additional health insurance plan, they may choose to review their policies. There might be a set amount they may be approved to be refunded from their insurance providers for private practice speech and language therapy.  

This is a private practice service with fees. It is not a government-funded service. Families are advised that they may be able to access free speech and language services through government funded agencies. Check to see if you are eligible to obtain free services at other places (e.g., hospital, Health Care Centre, nonprofit organization).
