What Documents are Needed for Aba Therapy Prior Authorization?

A typical prior authorization request for ABA therapy includes several key clinical documents. These include your child’s diagnostic evaluation and a treatment plan developed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), which incorporates specific recommendations for the number of hours per week. Additionally, you must provide documentation demonstrating the medical necessity of the services. Specific insurance plans may also require unique forms, such as the HRM-1 for Maryland Medicaid, to prevent processing delays. If requested by the care team, you may also need to provide a copy of your insurance card or a copy of your child’s diagnosis report.
