Frequently Asked Questions

Your insurance provider is often the best resource for identifying where to complete an autism assessment and understanding which providers are in-network. Your child’s pediatrician can also be a helpful resource when asking about local options for obtaining a diagnosis. Many psychologists, neurologists, and developmental pediatricians have the training and expertise to provide autism evaluations.

There are a few local providers that families I work with and frequently use, and I am happy to help support you in securing this documentation if needed.

 Most payors require a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. This typically includes a signed diagnostic report and the use of standardized assessment tools, often including both 1. clinician-administered and 2. caregiver-report measures. The evaluation should be completed by a qualified diagnostician using validated tools commonly accepted by insurance providers. Many insurers also require that the diagnostic evaluation be completed within the past 3–5 years, though requirements can vary.

Broadly, ABA services are a collaborative process between caregivers, the child, and the clinical team. Learning targets are individualized based on your child’s and family’s needs and may include structured teaching opportunities, support with challenging behavior, and caregiver consultation.

For example, if an assessment determines that your child’s needs medically necessitate 30 hours of focused care, a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) may provide those direct therapy hours throughout the week, based on payor authorization and your approval. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will regularly join sessions to provide at least 10% clinical oversight of the total hours, update programming, and modify treatment protocols as needed. Caregiver training may also be recommended, often occurring monthly or at another frequency based on clinical need and insurance approval.

In other cases, a child may require a more focused level of care. For example, if treatment is primarily addressing social skill development, services might involve around 5 hours per week. Depending on the complexity of the treatment plan or technician-to-analyst ratios, your insurance provider may approve services delivered directly by a BCBA, by an RBT under BCBA supervision, or a combination of both.

All recommendations will be reviewed and discussed with you so that you understand and approve the proposed treatment plan

From intake to start of care, timelines can vary depending on insurance requirements. A typical process may look like the following:

Document submission: You upload the insurance-required documents through our intake system.

Authorization request: Our administrative partner, Finni, will then submit an assessment authorization request to your insurance provider within 1–2 business days.

Insurance review: Most insurance providers take approximately 15–30 days to review and respond to the assessment authorization request.

Initial assessment: If the assessment is approved, a member of our clinical team will contact you to schedule the initial evaluation, which typically includes a caregiver interview tool (e.g., Vineland) and child observation and testing (e.g., VB-MAPP). 

Treatment plan development: Following the assessment, a treatment plan and individualized goals are developed and reviewed with you for acknowledgement and signature. This process typically takes about 1–1.5 weeks.

Ongoing treatment authorization: Once the treatment plan is submitted, most insurance providers take an additional 15–30 days to review and approve ongoing ABA services before care can begin.

Again, timelines may vary based on the insurance funder, documentation needed, and individual variables. Please do not hesistate to reach out and ask questions. 

También hablo español! If you require services in a language other than English or Spanish, we believe everyone deserves access to care and will work to find appropriate translator services or refer you to a provider who can support.
