Telehealth Billing

Missing Piece is your complete resource when it comes to ABA and telehealth billing. Our comprehensive understanding helps providers offering Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy make sense of the complexities that come with this new delivery method. We know how much time and effort behavioral health billing can require, and we also know that those resources would be better spent fulfilling your mission and providing even more effective telehealth therapy for autistic individuals. Our goal is to take the burden of telemedicine billing off your shoulders so that you can concentrate on your patients.

What are ABA telehealth services?

As awareness of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) continues to rise, there is a corresponding increase in demand for professionals skilled in ABA therapy, particularly in regions with vast rural areas where access to ABA services can be difficult. Fortunately, advancements in technology have expanded access to ABA therapy through telehealth. 

Telehealth offers a cost-effective alternative for ABA practitioners and their clients. It enables two-way, real-time, interactive communication through advanced telecommunication tools that include, at minimum, video and audio capabilities. Telehealth applications vary, including real-time interactions via videoconferencing or phone, transmitting healthcare data for assessment (store-and-forward), and remote patient monitoring, where health data is collected and sent to a healthcare provider for review and necessary intervention.

One of the main benefits of telehealth in ABA is the ability to reach individuals who may not have access to traditional therapy methods due to geographic barriers. This can include people living in remote or rural areas and those with mobility limitations who may find it challenging to travel for therapy sessions. In addition, telehealth can also provide flexibility and convenience for both client and practitioner. Clients can receive therapy in the comfort of their own homes, reducing the stress and anxiety associated with traveling to a traditional therapy setting, and it can save time, as there is no need to travel to appointments. Furthermore, telehealth allows for increased collaboration between ABA professionals, particularly those practicing in different locations. This can lead to improved treatment outcomes, as practitioners can share their expertise and work together to develop individualized treatment plans for clients.

What Clients Say..

Like most small businesses, our success is predicated upon personal relationships and a consistent revenue stream.  Since opening, Missing Piece Billing has been a great partner and an essential element of both.  They guided us through the billing and authorization process and took the lead on contracting and patient invoicing, allowing us to focus on serving our families.  As our company has grown from 1 to 100, I can say with great confidence that we would not be where we are today without them.
