2019 CPT Code Crosswalk

  • CPT codes for Applied Behavioral Analysis have been updated and

effective January, 1, 2019.

  • Health Systems Division Leadership approved a cost neutral

approach to updating CPT codes.

changes to the use of old codes

Current Work

  • I have asked providers to bill the total number of hours needed to

complete an assessment

  • I will complete an analysis in Quarter 1 of 2020 to evaluate the

length of time a typical assessment takes to complete.

  • Assessment information will be compared to industry standards and

taken into consideration when rates for ABA service are reviewed.

  • I want to develop an open line of communication for ABA providers

to discuss policies and partnership opportunities
