FABA continues closely monitoring developments regarding AHCA's implementation of current rules, Managed Care, and other policy changes involving behavior analysis services, fee schedules, CPT billing codes, and related issues. These issues significantly impact the availability of ABA services for recipients and their families, plus service providers across Florida. FABA has been meeting with AHCA leaders and will continue pressing for improvements.
