Abstract: p.p1 { margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 10.0px Helvetica; color: #000000 } span.s1 { font-kerning: none } The new Category I Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes introduced in January of 2019 require providers to make significant changes when rendering billable applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy services. The TRICARE military benefit allows for some of these new codes to be billed in their Autism Care Demonstration program. Providers must bring their rendering of services and documentation processes into alignment with the new Category I CPT code content. Distinct changes in the landscape of ABA services both in practice and in notation must occur to ensure the fidelity of code implementation. Not only does this enable providers to meet their contractual obligations, but also allows them to be prepared for audits. Sarah Schmitz, President of Comprehensive Billing Consultants, and Rebecca Womack, Executive Director of the Behavior Analysis Advocacy Network (BAAN) will discuss ways to deliver and document services reflected in the Category I CPT codes. Providers will be educated about general auditing processes and how to be audit-ready. All clinical recommendations will be aligned with the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) Professional and Ethical Compliance Code standards.
