Florida Medicaid Transition to Procedural Terminology (CPT) Codes for Behavior Analysis
Florida Medicaid Transition to Procedural Terminology (CPT) Codes for Behavior Analysis
On November 10, 2021, AHCA communicated is converting the Behavior Analysis fee schedule from its current Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level III code structure to the American Medical Association (AMA) Behavior Analysis Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code structure.
The Agency plans to transition the Behavior Analysis fee schedule from its current Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Level 3 code structure to the American Medical Association (AMA) Behavior Analysis CPT code structure. In 2019, the AMA adopted CPT codes for behavior analysis services. Behavior analysis CPT codes will align Florida Medicaid behavior analysis service and billing codes with national standards and improve transparency into the types of interventions delivered to Florida Medicaid recipients to promote service quality.
The Agency plans to have the CPT-based behavior analysis fee schedule effective July 1, 2022.
Additional details will be forthcoming.
Later on this year, the transition date was also extended to August 1st, 2022.
The new CPT codes are listed below
| CPT Code | HCPCS Code | Description |
| 97151 | H0031 | Behavior Analysis Assessment (24 units maximum allowable) |
| 97151-TS | H0032 | Behavior Analysis Re-assessment (18 units maximum allowable) |
| 97152 | H0031 | Behavior Analysis Assessment (additional information provided after 9751, not commonly used unless needed for changes to the Prior Authorization, 8 units maximum allowable) |
| 97153 | H2014 | Behavior Analysis Treatment by protocol by Technician (RBT, if provided by BCBA or BCaBA will be paid at the same rate as the RBT) |
| 97154 | H2014-GK | Group Behavior Analysis Therapy Services by protocol |
| 97155 | H2019 | Behavior Analysis Treatment with protocol modification by Lead Analyst (BCBA) |
| 97155-HN | H2012 | Behavior Analysis Treatment with Protocol modification by Assistant Analyst (BCaBA) |
| 97156 | H2019 | Behavior Analysis Family Training by Lead Analyst (BCBA) |
| 97156-HN | H2012 | Behavior Analysis Family Training by Assistant Analyst (BCaBA) |
| 97158 | H2014-GK | Group Behavior Analysis Therapy Services with protocol modification |

Changes for each individual Credential?
RBTs: H2014 ➩ 97153
There is no big change for the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), they simply need to select a different code, in this case, they change from their previous H2014 to 97153,
BCaBAs: H2012 ➩ 97155-HN, 97156-HN, 97153*
Please note that 97153 will be paid at the same rate as an RBT. For the current rate equivalent to H2012, please use the 97155-HN or 97156-HN.
BCBAs, LMHC: H2019 ➩ 97155, 97156, 97153*
Please note that 97153 will be paid at the same rate as an RBT. For the current rate equivalent to H2019, please use 97155 or 97156.
Example of Protocol Modifications:
97155 or 97155-HN
- Adjustments to specific components of a protocol (e.g., treatment targets, treatment goals, observation and measurement, reinforcers, reinforcer delivery, prompts, instructions, materials, discriminative stimuli, contextual variables)
- Observations to determine if the protocol components are functioning effectively for the patient or require adjustments
- The active direction of a technician while the technician delivers a service to a patient to ensure that the procedures are being implemented correctly, to correct errors in implementation, or to train the technician to implement a modified protocol
- Analyst implementation of the protocol with the patient to determine if changes are needed to improve patient progress or to test a modified protocol
97156 or 97156-HN
- The Analyst reviews the treatment protocol with the parents, which involves the use of prompting and reinforcement to promote the individual’s use of picture cards and gestures to indicate his desire to stop an activity and to request help.
- The Analyst demonstrates those procedures with the individual while the parents observe, then has each parent in turn implement the procedures with the individual while the Analyst observes, provides feedback, and records data on the individual’s performance.
- The Analyst gives the parents a copy of the treatment protocol and data sheets with instructions for implementing the protocol during typical family routines.
Changes for Billing
The most important change is that for a typical visit you only had to bill using 1 billing code, now you might need to use more than one. This is extremely significant since in the Claim form (CMS-1500) you will need to include not only 1 billing code but all the billing codes applicable for the session with their applicable number of units. This only applies to BCaBAs or BCBAs.
Office Puzzle changes
We don't have to do much since Office Puzzle natively supports all types of billing codes and the split of units by individual billing codes. Below you will find an example of a BCaBA working for 4 hours (16 billable units), out of which 2 hours were for direct implementation with protocol modification and the other 2 hours for family/caregiver training.
Readiness Checklist for Administrative Staff
The following checklist is intended to make sure everything is configured correctly. Depending on the Agency and the complexity level some elements might be optional.
Word of advice, DO NOT REMOVE previous Billing Codes before all visits with the previous Billing Codes have been created, doing so will prevent Providers from actually creating new visits with the OLD billing Codes.
1. Allowed Billing Codes for the Agency
Step #1: Go to the Agency Dashboard
Step #2: Click on Configuration
Step #3: Click on Billing Codes
By now all the new billing codes should be available for all Agencies providing ABA Services. If you are missing any of the billing codes and need help adding them, please contact support.
2. Allowed Billing Codes per Credential Type
Step #1: Go to the Agency Dashboard
Step #2: Click on Configuration
Step #3: Click on Credentials
Step #4: Click on each individual credential and look for the "Allowed Billing Codes" selector.
This is an optional requirement but it helps greatly to prevent providers choosing a Billing Code they are not allowed to use.
An empty field here will allow all Credentials Types to select all Allowed Billing Codes for the Agency.
3. Allowed Billing Codes per Insurance/Payer
Step #1: Go to the Agency Dashboard
Step #2: Click on Configuration
Step #3: Click on Insurance
Step #4: If you have more than one insurance click on Florida Medicaid to check for available rates.
This is an optional requirement for agencies not using Prior Authorizations, without a rate for a specific Billing Code, you will not be able to create Prior Authorizations for the Billing Code.
4. Allowed Billing Codes per Event Type
Step #1: Go to the Agency Dashboard
Step #2: Click on Configuration
Step #3: Click on Events
Step #4: Click on the Event Type you would like to configure.
This is an optional requirement, but an important one to prevent Billing Codes for being selected in every type of Event.

Charts
Charts
A chart is a highly effective way of presenting information since it tends to highlight the data behavior and trends better than tables. Any study or investigation that requires recollecting and managing data should include charts for a better analysis, interpretation, and visualization of the results. Among these, ABA Therapies need them to analyze client behavior over time.
Why use charts?
- Provides immediate access to the behavioral log.
- Having real-time info about the variations of data incentives exploration.
- Offers assistance when judging.
- Promotes independent judgment and interpretation.
- Effective source of feedback.
Charts in Office Puzzle
Office Puzzle offers the possibility to create charts with a powerful and fully customizable system while also providing a friendly and usable interface.
One of its main features is having multiple types of datasets available:
| Dataset | Description |
| Baseline | Expected behavior of data, used for comparative purposes |
| Average | Average of values through a day, week, month, or year |
| Total | The total value of data during a day, week, month, or year |
| Rate | Occurrence of an event during a unit of time |
| Count | The total value of data collected |
| Session count | Count of sessions during a day, week, month, or year |
There are other multiple features available such as:
- Show multiple datasets at the set time on the same chart
- Customize X and Y axis (title, color, max value, min value, etc)
- Customize each dataset (title, color, associated axis, type, etc)
- Add tags, solid, dashed, and dotted lines
- Show data on daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly intervals
As a team, we are confident that using the charts from our software will definitely make your work easier. If you need more information, just email us at hello@officepuzzle.com.

Using a digital platform for this will prevent minor mistakes such as:
- All calculations are made automatically by the system, so no more calculations are needed on your side.
- Adding data for days not worked, the system will automatically make them appear in grey, while the rest will be blank and ready to add the data collected on it.
- Add the initials of the person who collected data for that day,
- Add comments if needed.
- Add digital signatures
- Lock datasheet to prevent modification after

Data Collection
¿What is Data Collection, why is it important?
Data collection is the process of recording information, using different methods, according to the type of service provided. By using data collection and analysis methods, it is easier for professionals to measure and report accurate and real data in order to make the right decisions in determining what will be the most effective way to modify or improve the quality of the services they provide.
There are several types of data collection. For example, in the case of some therapies such as ABA, an analyst will determine what kind of data to collect depending on the type of information he or she needs about the behavior or response being evaluated.
Office Puzzle provides you with a detailed data collection system, fast and easy to handle. With several ways to add, organize, visualize and analyze with care and precision your client's data. Making the difficult and tedious work of adding handwritten information disappear.
Our system has implemented more than 15 data collection methods, on which we have worked to perfect it for your benefit, that you can employ regardless of the therapy you are using for your client.
| Type | Description | Methods |
| Event Recording | The number of occurrences by a unit of time. Ex: hour, day, week, interval. | Frequency, Count, Rate |
| Time Sampling | Collect data at periodic points in time or time periods rather than on a consistent basis. | Whole Interval, Partial Interval, Momentary Time Sampling |
| Timing | Length of time the behavior, or event occurred. | Duration, Response Latency, Interresponse Time |
| Trial | Several ways to easily record whether a response has been Correct, Incorrect, or there was no response to the test applied. | Discrete Trial Teaching, Incident Teaching, Percentage of Opportunities |
| Task analysis | Task analysis is used to break complex tasks into a sequence of smaller steps or actions. | Forward Chaining, Backward Chaining, Total Task Chaining, Backward Chaining with Leaps Ahead |
Data collected in the system is linked directly to the graph to be able to follow the progress of your client.
We mostly offer two ways of collecting data, click on each one of the methods below to learn more about it.
