Flood The Inboxes

We need your voice in the fight for healthcare access. Demand that your legislators defend funding for ABA therapy and other services.

​​

Funding changes affect us all. Remind legislators and committee members that reducing costs now by pushing them farther down the road only amplifies the financial burden for us all.

​​

Tell them that your vote during the next cycle depends on issues like these.​

​​

Calling specific representatives is the most impactful, even if you are not able to speak to them directly.

​

Contact the members of the upcoming Budget Committee Hearing before Dec. 16th to advocate (contact info below).

​

Key Points to Emphasize:

  • The ABA working group has proposed recommendations, and we should focus on implementing those and improving fiscal efficiency before evaluating rate cuts.

  • The new fee scheduled was implemented in Jan 2024 and has already resulted in a significant cost savings to the state.

  • Implementing a rate cut now would significantly impact provider networks and, most importantly, children who rely on life-changing Medicaid services and their families across the state.

  • End wasteful spending such as paying for Telehealth ABA, where meaningful outcomes were never realistic. The idea of providing hands-on behavior intervention through an iPad defies common sense.

  • Stop funneling state dollars out of state by limiting the expansion of national corporations that send profits back to their home offices rather than reinvesting locally.

  • Reduce red tape for Behavior Technicians by simplifying credentialing and documentation so they can focus on clients, not paperwork.

  • Streamline authorization and claims processes to eliminate the excessive administrative time spent appealing denials, chasing partial authorizations, and disputing unpaid claims week after week.

  • If the amount of therapy must be reduced, it should be done flexibly and thoughtfully, without red tape and without cutting reimbursement rates themselves. Cutting rates doesn’t just reduce access; it undermines the entire workforce that delivers care.

  • Add a personal statement about how ABA has impacted your family/child and what would happen if you did not have access to it.

​

We have written two general template letters for you to use when calling or submitting messages. You will have the most impact if you advocate in your own words rather than reading from our script - use it as a starting point and as inspiration.​

It's Personal

Because of ABA Therapy, our son developed the skills he needed to attend school, build quality relationships, and self-advocate. As he currently navigates college, we can't begin to imagine what life would have been like instead without ABA therapy. We have made it our mission to make dignity-based ABA therapy available to as many families as possible in our community...
