There is an exclusion on the policy for ABA therapy. Since the patient does not have any ABA therapy benefits with their primary insurance, we can bill to Medicaid as secondary, letting Medicaid know that the primary insurance doesn’t cover ABA therapy.CommentsSecondary Insurance CoverageInsurance Company is Forward Health Medicaid.

For ABA therapy, patient will not have any deductible, co-pays, or co-insurance due. Prior authorization is required for ongoing ABA therapy with Forward Health. Prior authorization tips: In this situation in which there is no coverage for ABA therapy with the primary insurance, the clinic will just treat this patient like a straight Medicaid patient, using all of the regular Medicaid modifiers when completing the prior authorization. If patient does not have an autism diagnosis, it is possible that the Forward Health prior authorization may not be approved. It is up to the clinic to decide if they want to begin care with this patient before the prior authorization is approved.Coordination of BenefitsChoose OneThe primary insurance listed above is correctly listed as the primary insurance according to Forward Health.Forward Health does not know about the patient’s primary insurance coverage.
