ABA Revenue Cycle Management
Anchored Revenue · ABA Billing Services
Our ABA billing services connect authorization tracking, claims preparation and submission, payment posting, denial follow-up, and revenue reporting. We help your team see what has been billed, what has been paid, and what needs attention.
For independent BCBAs, ABA agencies, and growing organizations, our team coordinates the handoffs between intake, scheduling, and billing—working alongside your existing team or managing the agreed revenue cycle functions.

ABA billing manages claims, payments, denials, and reporting. Credentialing checks provider qualifications; contracting establishes participation terms; enrollment sets up the provider or organization with the payer. These steps connect, but one does not replace the others.
Key reimbursement challenges
CPT codes 97153 and 97155 require careful alignment with rendering-provider, supervision, documentation, and applicable concurrent-service rules. Concurrent billing is not universally permitted; requirements must be checked for the specific payer, state, and service.
Who renders, who supervises, and how services are enrolled and billed varies by payer and state — errors surface months later as recoupments.
Units delivered outside authorized limits, expiring authorizations, and mismatches between approved and delivered services are among the most common ABA revenue leaks.
State Medicaid, managed-care programs, Optum, Carelon, Aetna and other payers maintain distinct requirements. Rules vary by state, plan and contract; naming a payer does not imply a partnership.
Copay, coinsurance, statement and balance follow-up workflows connect payer reimbursement with family responsibility, within the agreement and applicable requirements.
Reassessment and renewal cycles create predictable coverage gaps when scheduling, clinical, and billing calendars are not aligned.
Specialized services
Comprehensive RCM connects claims, recovery, authorizations, credentialing and enrollment, patient and family collections, and reporting. We’ll define the functions and responsibilities around your practice’s needs.
Denial recovery & appeals
ABA denials often trace back to authorization, rendering-provider, or documentation dependencies rather than a single claim error. We investigate the pattern, not just the claim.
Payer-specific denial investigation
Authorization and eligibility-related denials
Rendering-provider and enrollment issues
Appeals preparation and follow-up
Aged receivables workdown
Underpayment investigation
Claim correction and resubmission
Root-cause analysis to prevent recurrence
You do not have to replace your existing billing department to engage Capri for targeted denial recovery. Routine recovery within the comprehensive agreement is covered by the contracted fee. Standalone projects and material expansions are custom-scoped and approved before additional charges apply.
Payer & operational considerations
Support is shaped by specific payer requirements, state rules, and available expertise. We do not imply universal payer expertise, guaranteed compliance, or clinical decision-making.

Complimentary assessment
Answer a few questions about your organization to receive a response-based Revenue Clarity Snapshot. It is a preliminary starting point for discussion — not a completed professional audit.
Your questions
Yes, within the scope of each engagement. Multi-state Medicaid programs and commercial payers maintain different requirements, and we confirm payer and state specifics before assuming responsibility for an account.
We coordinate authorization tracking and renewal workflows with your scheduling and clinical teams so coverage gaps are visible early. Clinical decisions and treatment plans remain with qualified clinicians.
Enrollment and rendering-provider issues are a common root cause in ABA. We investigate whether the denial traces to enrollment, configuration, or documentation and coordinate the appropriate correction.
No. Targeted A/R and denial recovery, authorization coordination, and comprehensive RCM engagements are all available by agreed scope.
We work within supported practice-management and EHR systems and confirm compatibility and data access before an engagement begins. We do not claim official vendor partnerships.
Request the complimentary Revenue Clarity Assessment on our Revenue Cycle Management page, or contact us directly. We will review your situation and discuss fit.
Nationwide coverage
Capri engagements are conducted remotely and through team-based collaboration, with occasional on-site visits when a project calls for them.
