Load the authorization
Payer authorizations are added in the Files module with the payor, valid dates, service codes, and approved hours, units, visits, or dollars. Appointments are then scheduled against those approved codes.
CentralReach ABA billing starts with the authorization
In CentralReach, payer authorizations set the approved codes, units, and hours that appointments and timesheets draw against. That makes ABA billing an authorization and units problem before it is a claims problem. Here is what to settle before handing CentralReach billing work to an outside team.
Book a demoThe key question is which Billing module permissions an outside team would need, from timesheets to payment posting. Exact access is confirmed with your organization.
Authorization
Approved codes, units, and dates loaded
Timesheet
Appointments converted against the authorization
Claim and posting
Claims billed, payments posted to entries
How ABA billing moves through CentralReach
CentralReach links scheduling, timesheets, and billing to each client's authorization.
Convert timesheets
Completed appointments become timesheets, and CentralReach validates them against the authorization. Only users with the Override Authorization permission can bypass that check.
Bill and rework claims
CentralReach describes generating electronic claims, reworking secondary and tertiary claims, and posting payments back to billing entries. Agree which of these steps Taiga's team would own.
Track what is left
Authorizations carry approved amounts by frequency and in total. Decide who tracks remaining units and requests renewals before services outrun the approval.
What a handoff can change for an ABA team
Clinical staff keep running sessions in CentralReach. The billing follow-through gets a named owner.
Claims checked before they go
Taiga scrubs each claim against payer rules before submission and checks eligibility.
Appeals carried through
Denied claims are appealed until resolved, small balances included.
Family balances handled
Taiga sends patient statements and follows up, so families hear about balances from one team.
Confirm these CentralReach details first
CentralReach grants billing access permission by permission, so list the exact work before access is set up.
Which permissions?
CentralReach separates rights such as Manage Timesheets, Manage Payments Posting, Override Authorization, and Billing Recon. Grant only what the agreed work needs.
Who manages authorizations?
Decide who loads new authorizations, tracks remaining units, and requests renewals.
Is billing already outsourced?
CentralReach sells its own managed billing service, CR BillMax, which works inside the CentralReach account. If you use it, compare that arrangement with an independent partner before changing anything.
What A/R is open?
Separate open claims and unposted payments from new dates of service. Taiga can take over open A/R or run in parallel.
For independent ABA and autism therapy providers
Useful for a CentralReach organization that wants clinical teams focused on sessions and an outside team handling claims, denials, and patient balances.
Where this page stops
ABA is not on Taiga's published specialty list, so bring your service mix and Taiga will tell you straight whether it fits. Taiga does not claim a CentralReach integration or marketplace listing; access is agreed with your organization.
Questions from CentralReach practices
Can Taiga work our open A/R in CentralReach?
Taiga can take over open A/R or run in parallel with your current team. The exact CentralReach permissions for that work are agreed before access is granted.
Do we have to stop using CentralReach billing?
No. Clinical and scheduling work stays in CentralReach. The handoff covers who submits, follows up, and posts, and that is set on a call.
Who handles authorizations that run low?
Settle that up front. CentralReach stores approved units and hours per authorization, and someone must track them and request renewals.
Does Taiga support ABA billing?
ABA is not among the specialties Taiga names publicly, so a fit call comes first. Bring your codes, payers, and authorization volume for an honest answer.
