Many Goally customers have been able to succesfully obtain reimbursement from insurance, ESA programs, or purchase Goally through a state waiver program. We have outlined each of the programs we currently work with below.
If you are in need of additional help, or have any questions, please email us at: [email protected] and we would be happy to assist you.
ESA Programs
An Education Savings Account (ESA) is a government-approved program that provides families with funds to cover educational expenses for their child. Unlike traditional school funding, ESA programs allow parents to use state-allocated education dollars for a variety of approved expenses, including private school tuition, homeschooling materials, tutoring, special education services, and even technology like learning devices. These programs are especially beneficial for families seeking more flexibility in their child’s education, ensuring access to personalized learning resources that fit their needs.
Eligibility and funding amounts vary by state, so families should check their local ESA program requirements to understand how to apply and use the funds effectively. Check out our guides below 👇
Alabama
The Creating Hope and Opportunity for Our Students’ Education Act of 2024 (The CHOOSE Act) is administered by the Alabama Department of Revenue (ALDOR).
CHOOSE Act Alabama makes refundable income tax credits called education savings accounts (ESAs) available to support the success of eligible K-12 students in Alabama.

Florida
Family Empowerment Scholarship for Educational Options
This branch of the scholarship eligibility provides additional educational options for all K-12 students, such as attending a participating private school. Families apply and annually renew through one of the approved scholarship funding organizations (SFO), which are responsible for determining and distributing funding. FES EO also offers families of eligible students the option to receive a $750 scholarship to provide transportation to a public school different from the school to which the student was assigned.
Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities
This branch of the Family Empowerment Scholarship Program is designed to offer families of students with disabilities, as young as 3 years of age, access to additional education options. Families may choose to enroll their student in another public school, or they may choose to take the opportunity to receive a personal education savings account (ESA) for their student. With an ESA, instead of having their child attend a public school, parents receive a deposit of public funds into government-authorized savings accounts with restricted, but multiple, uses. An ESA can be used to fund not only items such as private school tuition and fees, but also online learning programs, private tutoring, community college costs, higher education expenses and other approved customized learning services and materials. Families apply and annually renew for participation in FES UA through one of the approved SFOs, which are responsible for determining eligibility, awarding and distributing funding to eligible student accounts, and approving eligible expenditures.

FAQ's About State Waivers
What if I have a Medicaid waiver already?
Talk directly to your case manager about the benefits of Goally to see if it would be covered. The funding pathway is different for every waiver, so talk with your case manager about the process. Feel free to reach out to [email protected] with any questions you or your case manager may have.
What if I do not have a Medicaid waiver?
If you currently are on Medicaid but you are not sure if you are eligible for any waivers, please reach out to your case manager.
If you’re not covered by Medicaid, these programs offer valuable financial support for your loved one. Eligibility is usually based on your child’s income, meaning most children with disabilities qualify.
Be aware that waiver programs may have limited funding and waiting lists. Starting the process early increases the chances of securing financial support.

All other insurances
Call insurance to Verify Coverage
The policyholder (or authorized family member) will need to call member services. The phone number for member services can usually be found on the back of the insurance card. Ask your insurance company the following additional questions:
- Is a speech generating device under code E2500 covered?
- Are there any restrictions or exclusions on this plan for the client’s specific diagnosis?
- What documentation is necessary to get this expense reimbursed?
- Find and download these forms
- Who should you contact with documentation to get reimbursed?
SLP Assessment
Most insurance companies want an assessment from your Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP). They might provide their own form or you can ask them to use this template.
Doctor’s Letter
Schedule a time to visit your child’s doctor. The doctor may ask you for the SLP assessment prior to the visit. You could need three things from your doctor.
- Letter of medical necessity. Here is a template your doctor can sign.
- Documentation of a face-to-face visit. Here are the requirements for your doctor to know.
- If your insurance company has any other forms, make sure you get those to your doctor during the visit.
Submit Documents to Insurance
Send all documents to your insurance company. If you already purchased your Goally be sure to include the email we invoiced you.
If you need an invoice from us before purchase, send us an email to [email protected] and we’ll send you an invoice. Here’s the information we need from you:
