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

Current fee schedule rows for all ABA codes are effective 07/01/2024 with no end date (99999999); identical to IL 2613-MC-FFS (5.0% increase over 6/30/2024 rates, PT 62 only). Modifiers per IL 2431-MC-FFS: HP = doctoral-level BCBA, HO = master's-level BCBA, HN = assistant behavior analyst, non-certified support staff, or RBT. Unit 15 min per IL 2431-MC-FFS. 0362T and 0373T are not on any Iowa fee schedule checked (PT 62, 63, 29, 61, 02). Iowa letters apply to both MC and FFS, but MCO contracted rates may differ.
