Event Details

Abstract

The Council of Autism Service Providers (CASP) Documentation Special Interest Group (SIG) has completed the Category III ABA Current Procedural Terminology® (CPT®) codes session note templates for applied behavior analysis (ABA) services. The process to develop these templates included lengthy discourse pertaining to design of the CPT codes, the clinical activities associated with each provider type delivering the service, and evaluation of how to meaningfully capture relevant information. The creation of the templates also included input from subject matter experts who specialize in healthcare documentation, legal compliance, and clinical practice. Designed to capture each client’s individualized and medically necessary ABA services, the templates are adaptable across different documentation methods (e.g., paper and pencil, electronic health records) and organizational processes for service delivery.This session will offer insight into the rationale behind the template content, including considerations for clinical and operational integration. The development process was guided by CASP’s mission to cultivate, share, and advocate for provider best practices in autism services, with a focus on improving the quality and consistency of documentation. These templates offer a unified approach to ensure the necessary information is provided according to the services delivered. The webinar will also provide recommendations for incorporating these templates into the clinical workflows of both ABA organizations and individual providers.
