General CEU: Raven Health Presents: [ABA Startup Success 101] Understanding the Claims Process - From Service to Payment

Revenue cycle management (RCM) is not traditionally considered a clinical topic, yet for BCBAs who operate or work within ABA practices, the health of the billing and claims process directly determines whether the clinical mission can be sustained. An ABA practice that is technically excellent but financially unstable — due to high claim denial rates, slow payment cycles, or inadequate billing workflows — cannot maintain the staffing, supervision, and quality infrastructure that clinical excellence requires.
