The Problem
Commercial autism mandate coverage varies by state and plan — fully-insured vs self-funded plans have different rules. Mis-verification leads to denied claims and parent disputes.
Self-pay and premium concierge ABA clients expect rapid, white-glove intake — voicemail and slow callback kill the premium experience.
ABA clinics using hour-pack pricing models need to capture parent preferences (10-hour vs 20-hour vs 40-hour packs) at intake. Manual capture misses upsell opportunities.
Per the No Surprises Act, self-pay families require Good Faith Estimates — manual generation is slow and error-prone.
