Caveats
-------

- ABA is billed here under HCPCS codes, not only the CPT codes shown. See the state notes for those rates.

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

The ABA CPT codes are no longer billable to Idaho Medicaid. Effective 2025-12-01 (Information Release MA25-21), Behavioral Modification and Consultation (formerly billed 97151-97158 to Magellan) moved to Behavioral Intervention under CHIS, billed FFS to Gainwell with Telligen prior authorization, using HCPCS codes. None of the 10 CPT codes appear in the July-September 2026 Numerical Fee Schedule v1.4 (https://publicdocuments.dhw.idaho.gov/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=37671&amp;dbid=0&amp;repo=PUBLIC-DOCUMENTS). Official crosswalk: 97153 -&gt; H0004 TG (BCBA-level, Magellan auths) / H0004 TF (HN) / H0004 no modifier (HM); 97154 -&gt; H0005; 97155 &amp; 97156 -&gt; H0004 TG or TF; 97157 &amp; 97158 -&gt; H0005 TG or TF; 97151 -&gt; H0032 TG or TF. Crosswalked H-code rates (15 min), CHIS DDA Fee Schedule dated effective 09/01/2025, last reviewed 01/01/2026 (https://publicdocuments.dhw.idaho.gov/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=30359&amp;dbid=0&amp;repo=PUBLIC-DOCUMENTS): H0004 (EBM paraprofessional) $14.34, H0004 TF $18.51, H0004 TG $24.68, H0005 $5.73, H0005 TF $7.41, H0005 TG $9.88, H0032 TF $17.63, H0032 TG $21.82. CHIS Independent Provider schedule (https://publicdocuments.dhw.idaho.gov/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=30360&amp;dbid=0&amp;repo=PUBLIC-DOCUMENTS): H0004 TF $12.94, H0004 TG $17.24, H0005 TF $5.18, H0005 TG $6.89, H0032 TF $12.31, H0032 TG $15.24. These H-code rates are not CPT rates and are kept out of the rates array.
