Supergood | ABA Billing Services API
ABA Billing Services is a billing and revenue cycle management service focused on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) providers. In plain English: they help ABA clinics get paid—handling authorizations, eligibility checks, claims submission, posting remittances, and denial follow-up. An unofficial API would let you programmatically read and update authorizations, validate and submit sessions, build 837 claims, track payer statuses, and reconcile ERA/EOBs without living in spreadsheets and portals.
If you’re another healthcare tech company—say an EHR, scheduling platform, or RCM analytics tool—integrating with ABA Billing Services means you can pull patient insurance details, authorizations, session validation results, claim statuses and remittances; push patient/provider rosters, billable session logs, and corrections with audit trails; and build features like authorization-aware scheduling, automatic claims assembly, real-time denial worklists, and utilization dashboards.
Programmatically access authorizations, eligibility verification, session validation, claims submission, and remittance posting in ABA Billing Services with a stable REST API. Supergood builds and operates production-grade, unofficial ABA Billing Services integrations so your team can automate critical ABA billing pipelines without heavy custom engineering.
If you’re a clinic, provider group, or revenue cycle team, integrating your tech stack with ABA Billing Services unlocks concrete data flows and features:
- Pull: Patient profiles, insurance policies, authorizations, session validation statuses, claim statuses, ERA/EOB summaries, denial codes
- Push: New/updated patients and providers from your EHR, billable session logs (CPT/H-codes), corrected claims with compliant reason codes, appeal packets
- Build: Authorization-aware scheduling, automated unit management, 837P/I generation, real-time reimbursement and denial dashboards, credentialing status tracking
What is ABA Billing Services?
ABA Billing Services provides billing and revenue cycle management solutions tailored to ABA therapy practices. Their services and tools span benefit verification, authorization management, documentation review, claims submission (commercial and Medicaid), posting of remittances, and denial follow-up, alongside education and coding resources specific to ABA (e.g., 97151, 97153, 97155, 97158 and Medicaid H-codes).
Core product areas include:
- Authorization and benefit verification
- Patient/client and provider rosters (BCBAs, RBTs)
- Session documentation review and validation against payer rules
- Claims generation and submission (837P/I) with payer-specific formatting
- ERA/EOB posting, reconciliation, and denial management
- Credentialing status tracking and payer enrollment support
Common data entities:
- Patients/Clients (demographics, coverage, eligibility)
- Providers (BCBA, RBT, supervising provider relationships, NPIs)
- Authorizations (payer, service code, units, date ranges)
- Sessions/Encounters (date/time, CPT/H-codes, modifiers, minutes/units, POS, diagnosis codes)
- Claims (service lines built from validated sessions)
- Remittances (ERA/EOB summaries, payments, adjustments, denial codes)
- Payers and plans
- Credentialing records (enrollment steps, effective dates)
The ABA Billing Services Integration Challenge
Organizations rely on ABA Billing Services to keep cash flowing, but turning portal-driven RCM workflows into automated pipelines is hard:
- Payer-specific rules: Each commercial plan and Medicaid program enforces distinct codes, modifiers, POS, time rounding, and supervision requirements
- Strong enterprise security: SSO/MFA and strict account controls complicate headless automation
- Portal-first delivery: Authorization tracking, documentation review, and ERA posting often live in web apps or batch exports, not public APIs
- EDI and timing windows: Clearinghouse submissions, SFTP feeds, and batching constraints must be respected
- Compliance nuances: Session edits require compliant reason codes and audit trails; retention policies and PHI controls vary by payer
- COB and multi-payer flows: Primary/secondary submissions and resubmissions add complexity to orchestration
How Supergood Creates ABA Billing Services APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated browser flows, batch interfaces, and network interactions to deliver a resilient API endpoint layer.
- Handles username/password, SSO/OAuth, and MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) securely
- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
- Normalizes authorizations, sessions, claims, and ERA objects so you can integrate once across payers
- Aligns with customer entitlements and licensing constraints to ensure compliant access
- Bridges clearinghouse and SFTP/EDI flows with signed URL retrieval and file delivery where applicable

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which ABA Billing Services products can this integration cover?
Supergood supports workflows across commonly used ABA Billing Services portals and agency-facing tools, subject to your licensing and entitlements. We scope coverage (e.g., authorizations, documentation validation, claim assembly, ERA/EOB posting) during integration assessment.
Q: How are MFA, SSO, and batch interfaces handled for automation?
We support username/password + MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) and can operate behind SSO/OAuth when enabled. For batch flows, we manage clearinghouse/SFTP timing windows, generate 837 files, and retrieve signed URLs or delivery confirmations programmatically.
Q: Can I generate claims directly from validated sessions?
Yes. You can assemble 837P/I from validated sessions with payer-specific formatting. We can route submissions via your configured channel (payer portals or clearinghouse) and return statuses and artifacts for reconciliation.
