You've Been Billing.
But Have You Been Charging?
Most ABA agency leaders don't know there's a difference — until a payer audit asks them to prove it. This free self-assessment will show you exactly where your agency stands.

You're doing a lot of things right. This probably isn't one of them.
You've built a team. You've credentialed with payers. You're delivering quality care and keeping the lights on. Running an ABA agency is hard, and you're doing it.
But when it comes to billing rates, most ABA agencies are operating on autopilot — billing whatever their practice management system has always had, trusting that their billing company handled it, or simply not thinking about it at all.
That's not a criticism. Nobody sat you down and explained usual and customary rates. It's not covered in BCBA coursework. It's not on the credentialing application. And most billing companies don't raise it unless you ask.
But here's the problem: not knowing doesn't protect you. And the gap between what you're billing and what you're supposed to be billing may be quietly creating compliance exposure — and costing you revenue — right now.
Does any of this sound familiar?
The silence isn't reassurance. It's a warning you haven't heard yet.
Operating without a documented, defensible usual and customary rate creates real risk — the kind that shows up at the worst possible time. Here's what's actually at stake.
Start here. Find out where you actually stand.
The UCR Readiness Self-Assessment is a 14-item yes/partially/no checklist designed to help you honestly evaluate your agency's billing rate practices — in about ten minutes.
It covers your chargemaster documentation, your benchmarking practices, your regulatory obligations, and your broader compliance readiness. No billing background required. Just honest answers.
When you're done, you'll know exactly what your agency has in place, what's missing, and what deserves your attention first.
What's inside the checklist
- Does your agency have a documented standard fee schedule that applies to all payers?
- Is your chargemaster rate set above what any payer — Medicaid or commercial — actually pays you?
- Were your billing rates set based on documented benchmarking data?
- Have you reviewed and updated your chargemaster rates within the last 12 months?
- Could you produce documentation to justify your standard rates if an auditor asked today?
- + 9 more items across regulatory compliance, contractual obligations, and broader compliance readiness in the download
The checklist tells you where you stand. The Collective helps you fix it.
Knowing you have gaps is only useful if you have somewhere to turn. The ABA Compliance Collective is a membership community built specifically for ABA agency leaders and administrators who want to get compliance right — without feeling like they're figuring it out alone.
Build your UCR with AI
Members get access to a full set of LLM prompt guides that walk any AI through a series of questions about your clinic — and produce a complete, benchmarked UCR chargemaster report tailored to your agency.
Compliance resources that actually fit
Practical tools, policy templates, and guidance written specifically for small- and mid-sized ABA agencies — not generic healthcare compliance content that doesn't translate to your world.
Regulatory updates you can act on
Billing rules change. Medicaid policies shift. Payer requirements evolve. Inside the Collective, you'll know what's changing and what it means for your agency — before it catches you off guard.
A community that understands your world
Led by behavior analysts who are also compliance experts, the Collective is where you bring your real questions and get real answers — from people who know exactly what it's like to run an ABA agency.
