How does your in-network ABA center bill insurance?

[Guest guest]

For those of you who are getting ABA insurance coverage with in-network

providers, how is your billing handled? How frequently do you pay your co-pays?

Do you pay them in advance of services? If so, how much? If your child is

absence for illness or vacation, do you get assessed a fee?

Our center's policies don't seem right to me and I'm wondering what the standard

is at other ABA centers. They require payment of co-pays at the beginning of

each month for the entire month. They are changing policy this year to no

longer credit your co-pay if your child is out.

I've spoken with our insurance company and they say it's not right, but I also

don't know if the person I spoke to understands ABA therapy and that my child is

there every single day. I am debating how much to push it with the ABA center

we go to since we need the services.

Thanks in advance! I am curious to know how this works at other centers.

Hello,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the " ABA " covered under insurance won't go in

effect until February 11th. & The " ABA providers " have to register with the

insurance; otherwise, we can't not send in the invoice & get the reimbursement.
