Autism Learning Partners Just Closed Its Medicaid Panels. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On April 1, 2026, the second of two 12.5% Medicaid rate cuts landed for New York ABA providers — completing a 25% reduction mandated in the state budget. Sixteen days later, Autism Learning Partners announced it is closing all New York Medicaid panels to new patients. New York now pays less for ABA than Texas.

Here's How to Fix It. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Most ABA practices send families home with nothing between sessions — no visibility into goals, no idea whether therapy is working. StreamABA's caregiver portal gives families real-time access to their child's progress, clinical goals in plain language, and a single place to sign documents, message their care team, and manage billing.

Does It Apply to Your ABA Practice? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On April 20, 2026, NC Medicaid begins monitoring national accreditation status for all organizations enrolled under the 251S00000X (Community/Behavioral Health Agency) taxonomy. Individual NPI providers are explicitly exempt. ABA agencies enrolled as 251S00000X face a one-year accreditation clock.

Most of that time is spent chasing documents, waiting on insurance verification, and re-entering data across systems. StreamABA automates the entire workflow — secure document requests via SMS, AI-powered insurance card scanning, one-click insurance discovery, electronic signatures, PCP referral faxing, and a conversion checklist that blocks nothing from falling through the cracks.

StreamABA's built-in lead pipeline eliminates the gap between marketing and intake with drag-and-drop Kanban, bi-directional CRM sync, in-app SMS and email, workflow automation, and an intake completeness score that tells you exactly which leads are ready to convert.

Piece by Piece Closes May 15. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indiana FSSA barred Piece by Piece Autism Centers from billing Medicaid after the provider collected $340,000 per child in 2023 and — under Indiana's then-active 40% reimbursement formula — billed $1,600 an hour to collect $640 an hour. All seven centers will shut down by May 15. This is what Medicaid termination actually looks like — not a fine, not a corrective action plan.

With Georgia's entire CMO landscape reshuffling in July and no rate guidance from three incoming payers, Georgia practices face a financial one-two punch with no easy moves.
