AbleNet Inc. Announces Approval of Medicaid Billing in Oklahoma

Medicaid Funding is now Available in Eighteen States

AbleNet Inc. is now a participating provider with Oklahoma’s Medicaid Program. With this achievement, AbleNet is poised to provide its customers with access to funding for communication devices, alternative access technology, and accessories.

St. Paul, MN – MARCH 26, 2015 – AbleNet Inc., a world leader in assistive technology, curriculum, and services for persons with disabilities, announces today the approval as participating provider with Medicaid in Oklahoma. This funding opportunity now offers people with complex communication disabilities an avenue for obtaining much-needed Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) technology, including Speech Generating Devices (SGDs). Medicaid funding for AAC allows many persons with disabilities to participate in educational, vocational, and community activities by providing them with a voice to communicate, engage, and connect with their world in ways that they cannot using natural speech.

"Funding for SGDs is important and we’re excited to be able to offer this new service to those in need in Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Ohio, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, Utah, Washington, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, Montana, New York, Indiana and now, Oklahoma ” said Chris Gibbons, Director of Speech Generating Device Services.  “Our goal is to make the funding process as seamless and smooth as possible for people with communication disabilities so that they can have access to the technology they deserve.”
