Summary
Missouri Medicaid (MO HealthNet) is extending the temporary waiver allowing non-certified technicians to provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services until November 11, 2023, but warns no further extensions will be granted. This affects billing for ABA services provided by technicians who haven't passed the RBT exam.
Action Required
By November 11, 2023: Ensure all ABA technicians complete RBT certification exams or risk service disruption. Billing team should verify technician credentials before November 11 deadline and coordinate with clinical staff to schedule exams immediately. After November 11, 2023, only certified RBTs can provide billable ABA services under Missouri Medicaid.
