The insurance industry is constantly changing the ABA billing and coding rules, reimbursement rates, and authorization requirements, making reimbursement for ABA therapy services a constant struggle. New delivery models, such as online telehealth services, create additional complexity around this process. Handling billing internally is a distraction to ABA providers who want to focus their time and attention on therapy for their patients. All these elements make ABA billing complex, requiring expert knowledge and expensive resources to implement correctly in-house.
How outsourcing these complex processes to an ABA billing services specialist helps you:
- New ABA therapists don’t have to learn all the ins and outs of ABA billing
- Allows new and experienced ABA therapists to spend more time focusing on their patients’ therapy by saving them time spent on processing ABA billing
- Maximizes the reimbursement you receive for your services while shortening the time to collect
- You get a turn-key solution with software tools, payer knowledge, and expertise in all revenue cycle functions
- You avoid the payroll costs of an expensive billing department and pay for services only when the insurance company pays you
- Avoid billing errors that may arise due to a lack of internal expertise that raises the cost of in-house ABA billing
- As you expand, the outsourced partner expands with you

Like most small businesses, our success is predicated upon personal relationships and a consistent revenue stream.

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.

Missing Piece delivers. Your problems are solved before you even notice, and you benefit from knowledge gained by Missing Piece via other clients’ problems even before they are yours to suffer. They are ahead of the game at every turn, be it denials for improperly reviewed claims, contracting issues, or auth utilization, they have you covered. We could not replace their services with ten full time staffers, and they cost far less than that each month.

When we began the process to become a Medicaid and insurance provider, a friend advised us to call Missing Piece for help. As it turns out, that was the best piece of advice we got in relation to this journey. The folks at Missing Piece have been there every step of the way, providing us with guidance, support, and taking many hours of work onto their workload. We are so grateful!
