Why New Mexico ABA Therapy Practices Need Specialized Billing

New Mexico's healthcare market includes 5,000+ physicians, and aba therapy practices here face a payer market dominated by Presbyterian Health Plan on the commercial side and Centennial Care on the public payer side. Medicare claims are processed through Novitas Solutions, which applies its own Local Coverage Determinations that directly affect aba therapy procedure coverage and medical necessity requirements. Generic billing teams without NM specific knowledge leave revenue on the table.

ABA Therapy billing itself is complex. ABA uses specific CPT codes with 15-minute time increments, supervision requirements, and documentation thresholds. Authorization tracking is critical. When you combine this coding complexity with New Mexico's specific payer rules, authorization requirements, and 3 Centennial Care managed care plans that each have their own billing rules, you need a team that understands both dimensions. Go Medical Billing provides that expertise at 2.49% of collections, serving aba therapy practices from Albuquerque to Santa Fe and across New Mexico.
