During this review, the SLP gathers medical history, observes the patient, and may conduct standardized tests to identify areas of concern. The findings help determine whether speech therapy services are needed and guide the development of an individualized treatment plan. This review is often required for insurance authorization and to establish a baseline for future progress.

Familiarity with healthcare documentation systems, insurance review platforms, and knowledge of regulatory standards such as HIPAA are typically required. Attention to detail, critical thinking, and strong written communication skills help ensure accurate reviews and clear documentation. These competencies are essential for making informed clinical determinations, supporting patient care, and maintaining regulatory compliance in the review process.
