Your ABA launch sequence
Start with your practice model, then connect payer participation, systems, and everyday workflows. These workstreams can overlap; payer requirements and your practice model shape the order and timing.
Choose your practice model, service setting, and initial team. Map the business and operational work needed to open.
Coordinate NPI and CAQH setup, individual and group applications, and payer contracting. Track participation status and effective dates.
Explore credentialing and enrollment →Set up your EHR, intake, benefits verification, authorizations, scheduling, and staff onboarding so the handoffs work together.
Explore technology and EHR support →Review launch readiness, claims workflows, and reporting. Connect billing with authorizations and payer enrollment before services begin.
Explore ABA billing support →As your caseload grows, coordinate renewals, collections, scheduling, and the daily back office—with ongoing support when you need it.

Discuss your launch →For Independent BCBAs
Capri Practice Partners offers a separate way for BCBAs to explore independent practice with operational support.
Whether you're building a practice under your own business and payer contracts or exploring other eligible affiliation arrangements, we'll help you understand the available pathways, responsibilities, and next steps.
Independent ownership and any affiliated arrangement are separate pathways; affiliated options remain in development. Group payer contracts do not transfer to a clinician’s own business, and credentialing, payer participation and reimbursement are never guaranteed.
