Discounts and SubsidiesProfessional DiscountsSpeech-language pathologists, schools, and other institutions: please call for professional discounts. Special Telephone Equipment ProgramsThe following states have programs to provide special telephone equipment to individuals whose speech disability interferes with their ability to use telephones. Even if you don't see our devices listed on your state's website it doesn't mean they don't provide our devices. Please call us if you have problems getting your state's program to provide a device to you and we will call the program.
Vocational RehabilitationWe've had many positive experiences with state vocational rehabilitation programs. If an adult (usually 16 or older) stutterer is unemployed, these programs pay for a anti-stuttering device, speech therapy, job training, and help the individual get a job. To find your state's program, check this list or look in your telephone directory's government "Blue Pages" under your state's Department of Labor or Education. EmployersIn every case we know of, when a stutterer asked his or her employer for assistance paying for our devices, the employer was more than happy to help. Often the employer then offers the stutterer a promotion. This is because many stutterers work harder than other employees to make up for their speech disability. Also, the Americans with Disabilities Act requires some employers to provide anti-stuttering devices. Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending AccountsWe accept payment from Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). This gives you a tax deduction for the cost of your device. Health InsuranceMany of our stuttering treatment devices are paid for by health insurance. Speech clinics handle this billing. Casa Futura Technologies doesn't directly bills health insurance plans. When asking for health insurance or Medicaid coverage, you will need the procedure and diagnosis codes. The CPT/HCPCS procedure code for electronic anti-stuttering devices is E1399-NU. The diagnosis code for stuttering is 307.0. Service ClubsWe've had good experiences with service organizations including Sertoma (SERvice TO MAnkind) and Lions Clubs. Our experience has been that service organizations prefer to help low-income children and teenagers, and that they prefer to be approached by the child's speech-language pathologist. Other SourcesWe've also had devices paid for by Veterans Administration Medical Centers and Medicaid. Obsolete and Used DevicesWe usually donate used devices to speech clinics and individuals in developing countries. In recent years we donated devices to recipients in Benin, Bhutan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, China, Cuba, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Peru. |
