An Insider's Look: Treatment Plan Writing for Insurance (RECORDED)

CEU Credits: 1.5 Ethics CEU Credits This is a 90-minute asynchronous CEU event led by Vic Suarez Castillo, BCBA, PhD. With her extensive experience working with insurance funders, Vic breaks down all the tools needed to develop an effective ABA Treatment Plan. This course equips behavior analysts with the tools to navigate the clinical and administrative demands of today's funding landscape—without compromising client care. Participants will learn how to develop treatment plans that align with medical necessity standards, determine ethically and clinically appropriate treatment dosages, and craft session notes that clearly demonstrate progress. Special emphasis will be placed on writing documentation that both reflects quality clinical work and supports effective advocacy in the face of insurance denials. Attendees will walk away with practical strategies to bridge the gap between ethical clinical decision-making and payor expectations. Learning Objectives: 1) Define the key elements of medical necessity and their application to treatment planning. 2) Identify appropriate treatment dosage recommendations based on clinical needs and justification strategies. 3) Develop high-quality session notes that demonstrate measurable progress. 4) Apply payor-informed language to advocate for services and address common reasons for funding denials.
