Receiving funding for augmentative and alternative communications devices, switch access and mounting systems from third party organizations is made easier, faster and more effective
St. Paul, Minn., June 1, 2009AbleNet Incorporated, a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of assistive technology products, software and curriculum for people with disabilities, launches its third party funding program to help customers access funding from private insurance providers.
Insurance coverage is often available for many of the augmentative and alternative communications (AAC) devices, access solutions like switches, as well as mounting system for beds and wheelchairs are now offered by AbleNet. Insurance providers, however, vary widely in their requirements to receive funding for assistive technology devices and the process is often complex.
At AbleNet we are excited to be in a position to help our customers navigate the complex process of getting funding from private insurance, said AbleNet President and CEO Jen Thalhuber. The AbleNet products are often covered by these third party organizations but the documentation and other reporting requirements are overwhelming and very time consuming. We feel it is important for us to help our customers with this process.
The AbleNet funding program is an important resource to assure access to funding coverage. The experts will help guide practitioners and customers through the numerous documents required and the specifics of the application process. Ultimately, the user gets their needed assistive technology equipment, which will significantly improve their quality of life and productivity.
