Software for speech-language pathology, with documentation made for SLPs.
Referrals, scheduling, SLP evaluations, signed notes and charge capture on one record. Visits on a speech-language pathology episode offer sections for what a speech session produces: trials, cueing, speech sounds and swallow observations.
From $49.99/month per organization · 14-day free trial, no card required
ArkCloud Rehab keeps a speech-language pathology practice on one record: the referral, the schedule, the evaluation and plan of care, each signed note and the charge that session produces.
A speech-language pathology episode gets its own note sections - communication, cognitive communication, voice and fluency, AAC and swallowing - and its visits offer sections for trial data with cueing, speech sound probes and bedside swallow observations. Visits are released to billing only on a note signed by a clinician your administrator has granted speech-language pathology.
Trial data that keeps the cueing visible
Each block of practice records the target, the attempts, the correct responses and the cue level. Accuracy is reported per cue level and never pooled, and independent accuracy comes only from unprompted trials.
A referral opens a speech-language pathology episode, the visit is booked and documented in speech-language pathology sections, and the signed note releases the charge. ArkCloud RCM then builds the claim for your clearinghouse (clearinghouse built, not connected).
ArkCloud knows 92521, 92522, 92523, 92524 and 92610 as the speech-language pathology evaluation and re-evaluation codes. An evaluation code from another discipline on a speech-language pathology episode is held, with the reason, until the code or the episode is corrected.
GN on Medicare lines
Available
On a Medicare line, GN is added to the charge from the episode's discipline. A line that already carries GP or GO is held for correction rather than changed.
Plan of care certification for Medicare
Available
A Medicare visit is held out of billing until a certification of the plan of care covering its date of service is recorded. The initial evaluation is exempt, because it is what produces the plan.

What speech-language pathology notes cover
Alongside the sections every note shares, evaluations and visit notes in an episode of speech-language pathology carry these sections of their own. They are optional headings the clinician fills in or leaves out; none of them supplies a finding.

What ArkCloud Rehab records for speech-language pathology
Trial data that keeps the cueing visible; Speech sound probes, judged by the clinician; Bedside swallow observations, without overstatement: The pick-list wording follows common practice and has not yet had clinical sign-off for this product. Anything it does not cover is written in the note as usual.
Available
Trial data that keeps the cueing visible
Record each block of practice: the target, the attempts, the correct responses and how much cueing they took. Accuracy is reported for each cue level and is never pooled into one number, and independent accuracy comes only from unprompted trials.
Available
Speech sound probes, judged by the clinician
Record the target sound, where it sat in the word and your judgement of it, with accuracy kept separate for each position. Speech recognition is not allowed to decide whether a sound was produced; a clinician listening to a recording is. The sound inventory is General American English consonants.
Available
Phonological patterns, read from the probe
When you record the sound heard in place of the target, the note shows the phonological patterns behind the errors, counted against every opportunity probed. An incomplete probe is not partly analysed: the note says what is missing instead.
Available
Bedside swallow observations, without overstatement
Record what you saw at a bedside swallow examination. Whether a patient aspirates, or does not, can only be recorded with an instrumental study such as a VFSS or FEES, because a bedside examination cannot establish or rule it out.
Available
The KX threshold, counted with physical therapy
The KX modifier is suggested once a Medicare patient's yearly therapy spending passes the threshold, counted for speech-language pathology and physical therapy together. It is never added automatically.
Questions
What speech-language pathology clinics ask
How much does ArkCloud Rehab cost for a speech-language pathology clinic?
$49.99 a month per organization, with a 14-day free trial and no card required. Adding ArkCloud RCM for claims and payments brings it to $548.99 a month.
Can a bedside swallow note record that a patient aspirates?
No. Whether a patient aspirates, or does not, can only be recorded from an instrumental study such as a VFSS or FEES, because a bedside examination cannot establish or rule it out.
Is accuracy pooled across cue levels?
No. Accuracy is reported for each cue level and never pooled into one number, and independent accuracy comes only from unprompted trials.
Is the KX threshold counted with physical therapy?
Yes. A Medicare patient's yearly speech-language pathology and physical therapy spending is counted together. KX is suggested once it passes the threshold and is never added automatically.
Who can sign a speech-language pathology note that bills?
A visit is released to billing only on a note signed by a clinician your administrator has granted speech-language pathology. Signed by anyone else, the visit stays held, with the reason shown.
