Regarding changes
 
  1. Please increase BCBAs rate to encourage the solo practitioner model as well. 
  2. Add BCaBAs as supervisors, they have sufficient training to engage in supervision activities, assessments/reassessments and treatment planning.
  3. Add an H code that will allow for billing for treatment planning, data analysis, and case coordination/management services.
  4. Parent involvement is listed as occurring weekly. This is not feasible at times. Once a month is a more realistic expectation. 
  5. 97153 should be provided at every level, technician, BCaBA and BCBA with modifiers to encourage all providers to deliver direct therapy to clients. 
  6. Make rates comparable to other private payors so we can reduce the gap in access between low income and wealthy families.
