Why Oregon ABA Therapy Practices Need Specialized Billing

Oregon's healthcare market includes 14,000+ physicians, and aba therapy practices here face a payer market dominated by Regence BlueCross BlueShield on the commercial side and Oregon Health Plan on the public payer side. Medicare claims are processed through Noridian, which applies its own Local Coverage Determinations that directly affect aba therapy procedure coverage and medical necessity requirements. Generic billing teams without OR 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 Oregon's specific payer rules, authorization requirements, and 4 Oregon Health Plan 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 Portland to Bend and across Oregon.
