Yes — Laya's app and online claiming is designed for regular receipt submissions for everyday medical expenses, including psychology and therapy services. The key is that your clinician meets Laya's registration requirements and your receipt includes all required details. AutismCare's Adult Autism Assessments are conducted fully online by PSI-registered Clinical Psychologists.
Usually no. Laya's process focuses on submitting receipts through the app or Member Area and doesn't describe a GP referral requirement for standard psychology, OT, or SLT submissions. Your Benefit Table will outline any special conditions for your specific plan.
Receipt details. Laya specifically calls out the need for clear receipts — including date, patient name, cost breakdown, and stamping or headed paper where required. AutismCare receipts are designed to include all of these details for a smooth claims process.
Yes — you can submit receipts one at a time after each session or batch several together. AutismCare provides a receipt for each session of your assessment. We recommend submitting after each session to keep things simple and stay well within the 12-month deadline.
Laya's scheme rules specify that practitioners must be registered with the relevant professional or statutory body — PSI for psychologists, CORU for occupational therapists and speech & language therapists. This is a quality assurance measure to ensure members receive services from appropriately qualified professionals. All AutismCare clinicians meet these requirements.
