Getting Started

If you are interested in receiving ABA therapy and/or educational services, please fill out our Hope Services Application. 

We are in-network and accept most insurances (including Medicaid that is Fee for Service or under certain Managed Care Organizations). We will check to see if your plan covers ABA therapy after receiving your application for services.

**Please note that we are not in-network and therefore do not accept Tricare.

Be prepared to submit the following (if they apply):

• A front and back copy of your primary insurance card (required)

• A front and back copy of your secondary insurance card

• A copy of the full diagnosis paperwork for your child’s autism diagnosis (required)

• A copy of your child’s most recent IEP (if applicable)

Once we confirm that ABA therapy coverage is included in your insurance plan and your application is complete, you will remain on the list until a potential slot comes available at your site. Once a potential slot becomes available, the Intake Coordinator will then send you our Client Information Questionnaire. This will give us the information we need to prepare for a Prospective Client Evaluation Session with you, your child, and one of our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA). The administrative fee for the evaluation is $75 and if additional testing is required to assess for an academic placement, the total evaluation fee will be $125.

Once this initial evaluation has been completed, we will make a placement recommendation for your child. If you accept this recommendation, you will be given a tentative wait time for this specific placement.

When the slot matching the recommended placement for your child is confirmed, we will move forward with scheduling an in depth assessment billed to your primary (and secondary, if applicable) insurance. After this assessment, your child’s supervisor will put together their treatment plan and submit it to your insurance company. Upon receiving the authorization to start services from the insurance company we would move forward with creating a therapy schedule for your child.

**Please note that the length of time needed to move through the intake process is dependent on many internal and external factors including, but not limited to, your specific primary funding source and our caseload availability.
