Show Notes
Indianas top health official, Mitch Roob, is cracking down on autism therapy providers, urging them to self-report any questionable billing practices by April third. This move comes after a Wall Street Journal report revealed excessive Medicaid spending on applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy, with Indiana leading the nation in high per-patient costs. The state is implementing reforms, such as a freeze on new providers, required accreditation, and tighter reimbursement rules, to address these issues. While stakeholders at a recent meeting expressed concerns about potential access limitations for families in need, officials emphasize that most providers operate honestly. The goal is to curb unsustainable growth and protect vital therapy while navigating national scrutiny and improving oversight.
