When it comes to Maryland ABA Therapy Billing Services, accuracy isn’t optional—it’s everything. ABA Therapy Providers face one of the most complex billing landscapes in healthcare, balancing behavior plans, data collection, supervision, modifiers, and strict documentation requirements. Whether you run a home-based ABA program, a large clinic, or a hybrid model, your ability to get paid hinges on how well your billing process works.
In this blog, we’ll cover the essentials of Maryland ABA therapy billing, why it’s more than just CPT codes, and how Taylor Prime Solutions helps you get paid on time—every time.

ABA Therapy Billing Is Complex
ABA therapy billing requires more than standard insurance submission. Insurance companies often require:
-
Specific CPT/HCPCS codes based on session type
-
Modifier usage (e.g., HM, HO, GO, 95 for telehealth)
-
Daily documentation tied to treatment goals
-
Pre-authorizations and re-authorizations
-
Parent training logs and supervisory requirements
Unlike general medical billing, Maryland ABA billing involves multiple session types and billing scenarios, such as:
-
Direct therapy
-
Supervision
-
Assessment & reassessment
-
Parent and caregiver training
-
Group vs. individual sessions
-
Telehealth services
One mistake in documentation or code selection could lead to claim denials, audits, or lost revenue.
Common ABA Therapy Billing Codes
Here are some of the most commonly used CPT codes in ABA therapy billing:
CPT Code Description
97151 Initial behavior identification assessment by QHP
97153 Direct treatment by technician, face-to-face
97155 Treatment with protocol modification by QHP
97156 Family adaptive behavior treatment guidance
0362T Group adaptive behavior treatment with protocol modification
Each code is tied to a specific service model and must be used correctly to ensure payment. Additionally, different payers (especially Medicaid vs. Commercial insurance) may interpret code guidelines differently, making it vital to have an experienced billing partner.
The Role of Pre-Authorization and Reauthorization
One of the most time-consuming parts of ABA therapy billing is authorization management. Most insurance companies require:
-
A pre-authorization before treatment begins
-
Re-authorization every 3 to 6 months
-
Clinical documentation to justify continued services
Missing an auth deadline can result in unpaid sessions—even if the treatment was necessary. At Taylor Prime Solutions, we track all your auths and deadlines so you never miss a window or lose revenue due to administrative errors.
Telehealth and ABA Therapy Billing
Post-COVID, telehealth has become a crucial part of ABA services, but billing for it adds complexity. You must:
-
Use the correct CPT codes with the 95 modifier
-
Ensure sessions meet the payer’s criteria for remote services
-
Keep supporting documentation like session logs and notes
Whether you’re billing 97153 via telehealth or offering parent training remotely (97156), our team ensures everything is documented and billed in full compliance.
