Discounts and Subsidies

Our email newsletter usually has a coupon for a discount on a DAF device.

Speech-language pathologists, schools, and other institutions: please contact us for professional discounts.

Veterans Administration Medical Centers regularly provide Casa Futura Technologies SmallTalk devices. Ask for an appointment with a speech-language pathologist.

We’ve had many positive experiences with state vocational rehabilitation programs. If an adult (usually 16 or older) stutterer is unemployed, these programs pay for a anti-stuttering device, speech therapy, job training, and help the individual get a job. Find your state’s program on the Job Accommodation Network or look in your telephone directory’s government “Blue Pages” under your state’s Department of Labor or Education.

We hear this story over and over. A stutterer asks his or her employer for assistance paying for our devices. The employer is more than happy to help. The employer offers the stutterer a promotion. The employer says, “You’re our best employee. We’ve wanted to promote you for years but we were waiting for you to talk to us about your speech.”

The Americans with Disabilities Act prevents employers from talking to employees about their disabilities. The employee must start the conversation. If your job requires talking and you ask for a reasonable accommodation such as using an anti-stuttering telephone device on phone calls then your employer is required to pay for the device. If you also need the device outside of work then your employer may only pay for half the cost.

We accept payment from Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). This gives you a tax deduction for the cost of your device.

Speech clinics bill insurance companies. Casa Futura Technologies doesn’t directly bills health insurance plans.

When asking for health insurance or Medicaid coverage, you will need the procedure and diagnosis codes. The CPT/HCPCS procedure code for electronic anti-stuttering devices is E1399-NU. The diagnosis code for stuttering is 307.0.

We’ve had good experiences with service organizations including Sertoma (SERvice TO MAnkind) and Lions Clubs. Our experience has been that service organizations prefer to help low-income children and teenagers, and that they prefer to be approached by the child’s speech-language pathologist.

Casa Futura Technologies donates used devices to speech clinics and individuals in developing countries. We have donated devices to recipients in Benin, Bhutan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, China, Cuba, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, and South Africa.
