Why ABA Practices Lose More Revenue Than Any Other Specialty
Authorization Expiration & Lapse Denials
ABA services require continuous, rolling authorizations that can cover 20–40 hours of therapy per week per client. A single missed renewal can result in weeks of unbillable sessions and tens of thousands in lost revenue.
Unit-Based Billing Errors & Overcounting
ABA CPT codes bill in 15-minute units. Miscounted units, overlapping service times across technicians, and concurrent session documentation errors trigger costly recoupment audits and retroactive denials.
BCBA Supervision Ratio Documentation Failures
Payers require documented BCBA oversight of RBT-delivered sessions. Missing supervision logs, incorrect credentialing of supervisors, or ratio violations result in blanket denial of all supervised therapy units.
Medicaid ABA Rule Complexity
Each state Medicaid program applies unique ABA coverage rules, billing codes, prior authorization requirements, and BCBA credentialing standards — creating a compliance minefield for multi-state ABA organizations.
Complete ABA Billing Coverage — Zero Gaps
ABA Prior Authorization Management
End-to-end authorization intake, submission, tracking, and renewal for every active ABA client — including initial assessment authorizations (97151), treatment plan renewals, and multi-payer concurrent coverage management so therapy never stops due to auth gaps.
ABA CPT Coding (97151–97158)
Certified ABA billing specialists apply precise unit-based coding across the full ABA CPT range — 97151 (assessment), 97152 (observation), 97153 (discrete trial), 97154 (group), 97155 (BCBA modification), 97156 (family training), 97157 (multi-family), and 97158 (group with BCBA) — maximizing every billable unit.
Medicaid ABA Billing & Waiver Programs
State-by-state Medicaid ABA billing expertise — including Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, EPSDT ABA mandates, Medicaid fee schedule compliance, and prior authorization through state Medicaid portals — for providers operating across multiple states.
Daily Session Note & Claim Submission
Automated daily claim generation tied directly to your session notes and ABA data system — with unit verification, overlap detection, and supervisor ratio confirmation before every claim is submitted, keeping your billing current and your cash flow predictable.
ABA Denial Management & Appeals
Rapid review of all ABA claim denials — including medical necessity appeals with assessment reports and treatment plans, BCBA supervision documentation appeals, auth-related denials with clinical support, and Medicaid recoupment defense — with payer-specific escalation protocols.
A/R Follow-Up & Aged Claim Recovery
Systematic follow-up across all outstanding ABA claims — including targeted recovery of aged balances 30–120+ days, coordination between primary insurance and secondary Medicaid coverage, and co-insurance resolution for families with dual coverage.
BCBA & RBT Provider Credentialing
Full credentialing and re-credentialing of BCBAs, BCaBAs, and RBTs with commercial insurers and state Medicaid programs — including CAQH profile management, payer enrollment, NPI management, and supervision agreement documentation for each provider tier.
Family Billing & Patient Responsibility
Clear, family-friendly billing statements that break down session-level charges, insurance payments, and remaining balances — with flexible payment plans, online payment portals, and empathetic communication strategies tailored for families managing high-frequency ABA services.
ABA Analytics & Compliance Reporting
Real-time dashboards with authorized vs. delivered hours tracking, CPT code utilization by therapist, payer reimbursement rate benchmarking, authorization utilization alerts, and Medicaid compliance reporting — giving your leadership team complete revenue visibility.
