How we read this state's schedule --------------------------------- FFY27 schedule is effective 2026-10-01 (one day after retrieval). The FFY26 schedule in force through 2026-09-30 (https://www.azahcccs.gov/PlansProviders/Downloads/FFSrates/ABA/FY26\_Final\_ABA\_FeeSchedule.xlsx) had identical rates for 97151-97155 and 97158, but listed 97156 and 97157 as 'BR' (by report, no fixed rate) and 97154 TJ at $14.93. Modifiers are standard HCPCS education-level modifiers (HM < bachelor's, HN bachelor's, HO master's, HP doctoral); provider\_type mapping to ABA credentials is illustrative, not stated in the schedule. Separate higher rates apply for place of service 12 (home). AHCCCS states a listed code/rate is not a guarantee of coverage; ABA requires prior authorization through the member's MCO or DDD contractor. Rates apply to AHCCCS FFS; most members are in managed care and MCO contract rates may differ. 0362T and 0373T are not on the schedule.
