Running an ABA practice also requires that you manage the treatment plan, authorizations, staffing, families and clinical supervision. With our ABA therapy billing services, we will relieve some of your pressure by organizing your claims, units, follow-ups and outstanding balances.
There are many components involved in the process of ABA billing. BCBAs, RBTs, treatment plans, units approved, supervision, caregiver training, and payer policies have to be consistent with the provided services. Tennessee Medical Billing provides practical ABA billing services for those organizations that seek quality assistance without the burden of more billing tasks on the side of clinical staff.
The knowledge that our team possesses of the aspects of ABA medical billing includes time-based coding, limits of authorization, information about rendering provider, diagnostic coding and payer specific claims. No matter whether you operate a small clinic or multiple providers and sites, we will build our billing process based on the actual way you provide your services.
ABA claims can be delayed by small details that are easy to miss. An authorization may have expired. The number of units billed may not match what was approved. The rendering provider information may be incomplete or inconsistent with the payer’s records. This is why ABA therapy billing calls for more than just a typical medical billing process.
We review your authorization, the services provided, the units, the provider information, the diagnosis, and the ABA CPT codes all at once to ensure any problem is spotted before it becomes a recurring denial. It’s really that simple: we file claims reflecting the care you gave without billing headaches later on.
Our ABA revenue cycle management services include the entire cycle from benefit verification to actual payment.
We review ABA codes for billing, units, provider details, diagnosis information, authorization data and other claim requirements before submission.
We conduct a verification of eligibility and authorization regarding coverage, ABA services, authorization period, authorized services and available units.
We work denial and A/R claims based on the payer response, authorization status, age of the account, balance and next step required.
Payments, adjustments, and balance are posted diligently so you know which payment has been made and which one is pending.
We integrate eligibility, authorizations, claims, denials, payment and outstanding balances through ABA billing service.
Time based procedures codes, diagnoses coding, authorization and payor specific claims guidelines are all part of ABA in medical billing. In contrast to billing in the same format for each visit, we compare these specifics to the procedure itself.

Billing for ABA therapy that we provide can help with assessments, treatments performed by technicians, protocol changes, caregiver training, group treatment, and many other types of ABA therapy. Different provider roles, units of service limits, supervision and authorization regulations apply to each type of the service.
That is why we go beyond just the codes in our analysis. Instead, we examine how all of those factors, treatment, provider, units, diagnosis, claims data work together. With us, you will get billing support designed specifically for ABA therapy.
