The SPA sets fees as of 2023-10-01 and says they are published at dc-medicaid.com. That portal returned a Cloudflare 'Suspected Phishing' challenge that can't be passed automatically, and the only Wayback capture (Medical\_Fee\_Schedule\_Current.csv, as of 01/10/2026) is truncated. The 2026 professional fee update XLSX on dhcf.dc.gov (Transmittal 26-10) has no ABA codes. The third-party $27.50 figure for 97153 is not confirmed and is not used. Most DC Medicaid children are in MCOs.
