If youβre a speech-language pathologist (SLP), clinic manager, or patient trying to understand your bill, CPT Code 92508 is one youβll see often. Accurate coding ensures SLPs get reimbursed fairly, while patients avoid surprise denials. In 2025, insurance rules remain strict; one error could mean delayed payments or claw-backs.
CPT Code 92508 is a billable speech therapy code used for the individual treatment of speech, language, voice, communication, and auditory processing disorders. It applies when one SLP provides one-on-one therapy to a single patient.
It is NOT for evaluations (92521β92524) and NOT for group sessions (92507).
SLPs use this code when providing:
|
Code |
Description |
Use Case |
|
92508 |
Individual speech therapy |
One patient + one SLP (personalized care) |
|
92507 |
Two or more patients in the same session |
Billing Tip: Mixing up these two codes is a major audit trigger. In one case, a clinic accidentally billed 50 group sessions as 92508, leading to nearly $10,000 in overpayment recovery.

Reimbursement for CPT 92508 depends on the payer. Medicare typically covers 80% of the approved amount after deductibles, Medicaid varies by state, and private insurers may impose visit limits or require prior authorization. Documentation of medical necessity is key for payment.
No, you generally cannot bill 92507 (group therapy) and 92508 (individual therapy) on the same day for the same patient. Payers view them as overlapping services. To avoid denials, choose the correct code based on whether therapy was delivered one-on-one or in a group.
