Built for speech-language pathology practices
Documentation, billing, and compliance for SLP, in one system.
Speech-language pathology practices treat across a wider diagnostic range than any other therapy discipline. Articulation and language delays in children. Dysphagia and cognitive-communication disorders in adults. AAC device documentation. Medical SLP in skilled nursing and outpatient. Each population carries different documentation demands, payer rules, and billing requirements. StrataEMR is built for the breadth of what SLP practices actually treat.

How it works
Built for the breadth of SLP, from pediatric articulation to adult dysphagia
Four places StrataEMR is built around what speech-language pathology practices actually treat.
Step 1
Documentation built for SLP scope, not borrowed from PT.
SLP documentation templates are discipline-scoped: articulation, language, dysphagia, AAC, cognitive-communication, voice, and fluency. Required selections inside each template enforce the clinical detail payers expect for that diagnosis. A dysphagia eval requires a penetration-aspiration scale rating, diet level, and medical necessity rationale before completion. An articulation eval requires stimulability and intelligibility ratings. The structure of the note matches what the discipline actually treats, not a PT template with the field labels swapped.
- Discipline-scoped templates for each SLP population
- Required selections enforced per template
- CPT-aligned structure (92507, 92521, 92526, 92610)
Step 2
Pediatric and adult populations in the same system.
Pediatric SLP and adult medical SLP run inside the same EMR with the same workflow. Guardian patient portal handles intake, balance alerts, and appointment reminders for pediatric patients while keeping the chart in the guardian's name on file. Adult patients run on the standard patient portal. Medicare Part B, commercial, Medicaid, and school-based payers all coexist on the same patient roster. There is no separate pediatric module to license and no separate adult module to license.
- Guardian portal for pediatric intake and engagement
- Adult patient portal for self-managed patients
- Same chart, same scheduling, same billing across populations
Step 3
Medicare compliance on every adult SLP claim.
StrataEMR's direct Medicare EDI connection auto-verifies benefits when policies are saved and tracks the therapy cap across the year. The KX modifier threshold is monitored automatically and surfaced as an alert before the cap crosses. Certifying provider NPI is captured on every adult Medicare patient. Plan of Care recertification windows surface as tasks before they expire. Adult SLP carries the same Medicare compliance machinery as adult PT, configured for SLP CPT codes and SLP-specific medical necessity standards.
- Direct Medicare EDI connection for SLP
- Therapy cap and KX modifier tracking per patient
- Plan of Care recertification surfaced as a task
Step 4
Multi-payer billing without a separate billing team.
The StrataPT billing team works inside the EMR across every payer category SLP practices touch: Medicare Part B, commercial, Medicaid managed care organizations, and school-based payers. Pending charges, denial follow-up, appeals, and ERA posting happen in the same system clinicians document in. ERA posting runs within 24 hours of remittance. The Clarity Panel gives owners a per-patient view of charges, payments, adjustments, and outstanding balance across the full payer mix.
- In-house billing team across Medicare, commercial, Medicaid, school-based
- ERA posting within 24 hours of remittance
- Clarity Panel per patient across the practice
What's in the workflow
Every SLP touchpoint, covered
Discipline-scoped templates, pediatric and adult workflows, Medicare-direct billing, and an in-house billing team in one platform.
SLP-scoped templates
Discipline-scoped templates for articulation, language, dysphagia, AAC, cognitive-communication, voice, and fluency. Required selections enforce the clinical detail each diagnosis needs.
Pediatric and adult patient management
Pediatric and adult SLP patients live on the same roster with the same workflow. Guardian portal for pediatric, standard portal for adult, one schedule and one billing pipeline.
Direct Medicare connection
EDI connection to Medicare for eligibility and claims. Benefits auto-verify on policy save. Therapy cap and KX modifier track automatically for adult SLP patients.
Document completion gating
Notes cannot be marked complete without an active policy, completed benefits, authorization on file when required, and certifying provider NPI on Medicare patients.
Authorization and visit limit tracking
Authorization counts, visit limits, and expiration dates tracked per policy. School-based and Medicaid MCO authorization rules captured at the payer level, not in someone's memory.
Guardian patient portal
Guardian completes intake, receives appointment reminders, and gets balance alerts for pediatric patients. Chart stays in the guardian's name on file with the patient as the case.
Daily note auto-cloning
Routine treatment appointments auto-clone the most recent General Document to the current date of service. Clinicians document what changed, not what stayed the same.
StrataPT billing team
Billing staff work inside the EMR across Medicare, commercial, Medicaid MCO, and school-based payers. Pending charges, denial follow-up, appeals, and ERA posting in one platform.
