Efunding

Expert guidance for your funding process

Expedite your funding application

The Tobii Dynavox e-funding process lets individuals that are living in the United States complete and submit their funding packet for a speech-generating device (SGD) online. This speeds up the funding submission process and keeps all required documents in one place.

During the e-funding process you’ll find information on consulting your doctor and speech-language pathologist (SLP), choosing a device, how to complete and submit the required funding packet, how to check on authorization status, and guidance for receiving your device. The E-funding tool allows you to write, save and submit funding reports electronically.

5 Steps of the funding process

Consult an SLP

An SLP will do an assessment to understand your communication needs and help you choose the right device. Your local Tobii Dynavox solutions consultant can also help. Once a device is selected, the SLP will complete an AAC/SGD report.

Physician prescription

After seeing the SLP, send a copy of the speech evaluation to the physician. They will need to sign a prescription and complete any state Medicaid forms. Ask them for a letter of medical necessity and recent face-to-face documentation.
