The ableEXPERIENCE provides a hands-on opportunity with your QuickTalker Freestyle. After you submit a benefit check and AbleNet determines whether benefits for a speech device are available, you’ll receive a QuickTalker Freestyle. Using the device allows everyone to learn and determine best outcomes. You keep the hands-on device until funding is approved or determine it’s not the right fit.

There is no obligation to complete the funding process, and we have a team that will work with you to retrieve the device at no cost.

ableEXPERIENCE Details:

• No scary contracts, rental agreements, or fees to have a hands-on experience with the QuickTalker Freestyle.
• The device can come with any speech app from the App Store.
• Accidents happen, you’ll never be charged for a damaged or lost/stolen device.
• AbleNet has a unique team dedicated to ensuring you capture the data needed by insurance to support your assessment.
• There is no obligation to proceed. We’ll coordinate sending it back if it’s not the right fit.

We believe having access to our QuickTalker Freestyle is the best way to determine if it’s the best option for your child.

To receive a QuickTalker Freestyle, you must first fill out a Benefit Check. This allows us to check your benefits, and provide you with information about insurance coverage and next steps to pursue insurance funding.

This starts your ableEXPERIENCE where you will receive the QuickTalker Freestyle. AbleNet manages all the communication so you can focus on getting started with the QuickTalker Freestyle.

Along the way, we will check in and send reminders of where we are in the insurance process and what next steps are. At any time you want to stop the process and return the QuickTalker Freestyle, you can.

The ableEXPERIENCE program allows you to keep the device throughout the funding process. Once we achieve funding approval by insurance, it will remotely become the permanent device and be yours to keep throughout our 5-year warranty!

You are not liable for damage during the ableEXPERIENCE hands-on period. Click here to submit a warranty request if your device becomes damaged.

Certain insurance plans require proof of delivery of the device to the patient’s home. If the insurance provider has this requirement, and the device was originally requested to ship to the clinic, AbleNet will change the request to ship to the family, and will notify you of the change. To avoid delivery delays, please ensure a current patient home address is included in your initial request. We ask that you please set up the device with the patient at your next session together.

Yes. We encourage your student or client to take their voice wherever they go.

The next step is to complete the speech evaluation. You will receive a link to access an online speech evaluation template. The AbleNet team will review your speech evaluation before we send it to the insurer for review.

If you need access to your online speech evaluation link, want to discuss how the speech evaluation is progressing, or you are looking for the next steps in the funding process, please contact AbleNet’s Medical Funding Team.

It is dependent on their specific insurance, when we receive the speech evaluation, and required physician documents. Once all the necessary information is received, we typically hear insurance’s decision within 2 weeks.

Please contact AbleNet’s Medical Funding Team to request a link to your online speech evaluation template.
