Floreo is helping Learners thrive: one VR session at a time

By Heather | Jun 5, 2025

In a time when technology is reshaping how we learn and connect, virtual reality is stepping into the spotlight. As conversations around AI, accessibility, and inclusive education grow, VR offers a hands-on, engaging way to support neurodiverse learners. At Floreo, we’re proud to be pioneering that movement: creating safe, immersive experiences that build real-world skills when they matter most.

Floreo’s lesson library is at the heart of that experience, designed to build real-world skills in communication, social interaction, emotional regulation, and more. Whether you're new to VR or looking to expand your toolkit, now’s the perfect time to explore what Floreo has to offer.

Stay tuned: something new is on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to make Floreo even easier to use and more accessible for Coaches. We’re excited to share more with you soon!


Using the CPT 3 code for VR-assisted therapy

Attention therapists using Floreo in your practices: Many payors—like Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Allina, Banner Health, Innovation Health, and Sutter Health—have already added CPT Code 0770T to their systems and many have established reimbursement rates. We encourage you to submit claims as you may be surprised that reimbursement is available.

What You Can Do
Whether or not payors have already included 0770T in their claims processing systems or established reimbursement rates, we encourage providers to:
  • Submit claims with a reasonable and customary rate based on their clinical and practice expenses.
  • Monitor reimbursement responses from payors and advocate for coverage where necessary.
  • Engage with payors to clarify the process for reimbursement under CPT Code 0770T
Practice expense includes technician or clinical staff (not QHP) time directly tied to the use of the VR equipment, supplies (disposable items related to the use of the VR technology), and equipment included in utilizing the VR technology. 0770T should also only be reported once per patient, per session.
By submitting claims for CPT 0770T, you’re helping to shape the future of therapeutic VR access—and making it more affordable and accessible for all.
