How we read this state's schedule
---------------------------------

Still the current ABA fee schedule in the DMAP repository as of 2026-09-30. Base (no-modifier) rates for 97153/97155/97156 are unchanged on the Physician Fee Schedule Effective January 1, 2026 (EntryId=2015). The schedule does not label the modifiers; HP/HO/HN are the standard HCPCS doctoral/master's/bachelor's-level modifiers. The schedule does not say which provider type bills the no-modifier base rate. ABA is an EPSDT benefit for under-21s (SPA 16-010). Most members are in Diamond State Health Plan MCOs, whose contracted rates may differ.
