Assignment task:
Case 47 Billing Blunder Tarik is a BCBA who works at a large ABA agency with multiple departments that provide various behavior-based services to individuals with DD's including ABA intervention, parent group, family therapy, and respite services. Tarik received an audit from the finding organization for one of the individuals on his caseload. In reviewing his documentation and the billing information submitted, Tarik noticed consistent weekly occurrences when his company billed for ABA services that were not provided to the learner. In researching the discrepancy, Tarik found that the company did provide respite services, which are not part of the family's authorized finding, during those times that were billed as intervention based in ABA. Tarik knows how much the family has benefited from the support and relief the respite services have provided.
