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. The introduction of new delivery models, such as online telehealth services, also creates additional complexity around this process. This makes the handling of billing internally a very time-consuming process for many ABA therapy providers, many of whom would rather focus their time and attention on providing therapy for their patients.
All these elements require ABA providers to seek out expert knowledge and other expensive resources to correctly implement ABA billing in-house.
However, you can outsource your billing to a dedicated ABA billing company to eliminate these issues.
How outsourcing these complex processes to an ABA billing services specialist helps you
Here are some of the many benefits that come with outsourcing your ABA billing solution to a specialist billing agency:
- Assisting you with ABA billing expertise: As an established or new ABA therapist, you’ll get all the help you need to get to grips with all the challenges of ABA billing, such as regularly changing ABA billing codes.
- Focus on providing excellent ABA therapy: Outsourcing to a billing company allows new and experienced ABA therapists to spend more time focusing on their patients’ therapy instead of spending time on processing ABA billing.
- Streamline your billing system to speed up payments: Hiring a specialist ABA billing agency maximizes the reimbursement you receive for your services while shortening the time to collect your ABA therapy claims.
- An all-in-one solution: You get a turn-key solution with software tools, payer knowledge, and expertise in all revenue cycle functions.
- Reduce billing costs: You avoid the costs of an expensive in-house billing department with its associated expenses, such as salary, insurance, and other expenses, and only pay for services provided by the ABA billing company when the insurance company pays you.
- Eliminate billing errors: Avoid billing errors that may arise due to a lack of internal expertise, which raises the cost of in-house ABA billing due to the associated correction costs, such as resubmission fees.
- Scalable and flexible billing: As you expand, your outsourced partner expands with you to meet your billing needs quickly and easily, compared to increasing the size of an in-house billing team which would take longer and cost more.
