The Problem

ABA clinics lose 10-20% of billable hours to cancellations

Without robust cancellation backfill, ABA clinics lose 10-20% of billable hours to unfilled cancellations — direct lost revenue that compounds weekly.

Direct lost revenue, lower BCBA / RBT utilization, missed growth targets

Manual waitlist outreach is slow and inconsistent

When an RBT or BCBA session cancels, manual outreach to the waitlist is slow — taking hours when minutes matter. By the time outreach happens, the slot is wasted.

Lost revenue, front desk burnout, RBT/BCBA frustration

Funding-source mismatched outreach causes billing errors

A Medicaid waiver cancellation should go to a Medicaid waitlist — not a commercial autism mandate client. Mismatched outreach causes billing errors and parent confusion.

Billing denials, parent disputes, compliance risk

Bilingual cancellation outreach is manual

Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean-speaking parents on the waitlist need bilingual cancellation-fill offers — and manual translation slows things down.

Equity gap, lost diverse-community conversion, slower backfill
