What is a Speech Therapist invoice?

A speech and language therapist (SLT) invoice covers assessment and treatment for communication, speech, language, voice, swallowing, and fluency disorders across all age groups. Speech therapists work with children with developmental speech delays, adults following stroke or brain injury, people with stuttering or voice disorders, and individuals with swallowing difficulties. HCPC registration is mandatory, and the registration number should appear on all professional invoices. Private SLTs work with individual clients, families, schools, and NHS services on a sessional basis. Medico-legal reports for personal injury or capacity cases are a distinct service billed separately from therapy sessions.

Frequently asked questions

Do I charge VAT on speech therapy?
No. Speech and language therapy provided by an HCPC-registered SLT is VAT-exempt under the medical exemption.
How do I invoice schools for speech therapy sessions?
Schools typically require a purchase order before the invoice is issued. Request a PO number, then invoice against it. Include the child's name (with parental consent) or anonymised identifier, school name, and PO number.
Can I charge for report writing?
Yes. Reports are a distinct billable deliverable requiring preparation and writing time beyond the assessment or session. Invoice reports separately with a description of the report type and intended recipient.
What is a clinical session versus an assessment?
An assessment is typically a one-off, longer appointment to evaluate the client's communication profile and set treatment goals. Therapy sessions are regular follow-up appointments working towards those goals. Price them differently to reflect the assessment's greater preparation and report-writing requirements.
How do I handle no-shows?
A 24-48 hour cancellation policy with a late cancellation fee is standard. State this in your booking terms. For children's SLT, the parent is responsible for cancellation. Late cancellation fees should be clearly communicated upfront.
