Accurate payment for SLP services depends on compliance with payer guidelines (e.g., coverage, supervision) and the specific payment system (e.g., prospective payment, fee-for-service) relevant to the practice setting (e.g., inpatient, outpatient) in which the service is provided. This course will define and illustrate the interrelationship of these three professional elements, including their relevance to supervision requirements, and will provide resources for further assistance.
