Attain SLB and non-private equity ABA providers across the state of Colorado need your support. Those of us in the trenches of providing these valuable, life-changing services will confirm that what this field is going through is nothing short of a crisis. Medicaid’s low reimbursement rates threaten to halt ABA services for the majority of children who could benefit in the future if nothing is done to STOP them and advocate for what our children and therapists need.
Registered behavior technicians/ RBTs are providing highly technical and advanced, evidence-based and medically necessary services. Their jobs require a high degree of professionalism and attention to detail. Unfortunately with low reimbursement rates from Medicaid, it becomes very difficult and nearly impossible to hire new staff to implement these services. This means that children end up waiting long months and even YEARS on waitlists even though ABA services are medically necessary are URGENT.
At a time where the price of nearly EVERYTHING has increased with COVID-19 crisis and inflation, rates for ABA services have continued to stall for years. It’s unacceptable and nothing short of tragic for families who are waiting for support.
It’s time to change the reimbursement rates for good, so please sign this petition. In doing so you acknowledge that these services are virtually important to the children who need them and they have a HUMAN RIGHT to quality care!
