Attention Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) providers:
Effective for dates of service on and after October 1, 2023, some services provided as part of an early childhood intensive behavioral intervention day treatment program (CPT® code H2020) may occur via synchronous, audio-visual telemedicine. Speech and language pathology services must occur face-to-face, either in-person or via audio-visual telemedicine.
Additionally, a minimum of 2 caregiver training sessions must occur in-person and additional sessions may occur either in-person or via audio-visual telemedicine. Supervision of Certified Behavior Technicians (CBTs) may occur via audio-visual telemedicine; however, a Lead Behavior Analysis Therapist (LBAT) is required to be on-site for all hours the day treatment program is in session.
This change and additional details will be reflected in the upcoming Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Billing Guide.
