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

DSS publishes the ABA fee schedule only as a Power BI report; values were read from the report's own public query endpoint (the data behind the rendered table), not a PDF. Fees are maximum allowable. Single rate per code, no provider-level tiers; DSS says to append applicable modifiers per its modifier list (dss.sd.gov/docs/medicaid/modifiers.pdf); SD ABA manual says group treatment billed with the appropriate modifier. Descriptions state 'Each 15 Minutes'. Previous SFY (7/1/2025) values also retrieved for comparison.
