Caveats
-------

- Most ABA in this state is paid through managed care plans; plan rates may differ from these FFS rates.

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

Fee search shows Max Fee History with a single entry since 01/17/2020 (end 12/31/2299), i.e., unchanged. Modifier meanings from 50 Pa.B. 741 (https://www.pacodeandbulletin.gov/Display/pabull?file=/secure/pabulletin/data/vol50/50-5/162.html). FQ (audio-only) rows show 'Please See Details' and price at the base rate (verified for 97153 POS 10 = $12.73). Most MA members receive IBHS/ABA through HealthChoices BH-MCOs (county managed care), which may pay differently; this is the FFS schedule. Downloadable file needs PROMISe login; search database is public behind CPT click-through. 97157, 0362T, 0373T return no records.
