**Please Read  -  IMPORTANT**  -  Dec 1, 2009:  Gus Communication Devices offers COMPLETE speech solutions at Co-Pay (20%) prices ***

Almost every day, we hear from people who have NO insurance, or have insurance that won’t pay for a speech device, or who don’t qualify for Medicare or Medicaid because of age or economic position.  And over the past 17 years, we’ve seen these calls increasing in number and frequency.  Added to this...Blue Cross has lowered the maximum it will pay toward a speech device to $1,000 and, the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Assoc) has cancelled it’s $2,000 funding for speech devices beginning Jan. 1, 2010.

                                                           So today we decided to do something about it.

What if we offered our speech packages at prices that matched the out-of-pocket costs (20%) fully insured individuals spend on our competitors $8,800 speech packages?   And what if we made those prices available to anyone whether they had insurance or not?

                      In other words, remove the medical device “reimbursement max” ($7,100) out of the price completely. 

One VERY competitive price for all....individuals, schools, hospitals, DME suppliers and health insurance providers.

The following chart demonstrates how without ANY insurance, an individual’s out-of-pocket expense is equivalent to what a fully insured individual would pay to obtain an equivalent speech package from our “medical” competitors.

*** Don’t forget...our systems carry name brands like Panasonic, HP, Fujitsu and others.  The DME systems are manufactured “in-house”.

If you have no insurance, are tired of fighting with your insurance, or need a speech device in a timely manner at a fair price...
