ABA billing is complex, requiring expert knowledge and expensive resources. 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 telehealth create additional complexity to this process. Handling billing internally is a distraction to ABA providers who want to focus on therapy for their patients.
Outsourcing these complex processes to an ABA billing specialist provides many benefits:
- Allows you to spend more time focusing on your patients’ therapy
- 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
- As you expand, the outsourced partner expands with you
