AI review for ABA assessments

Catch the gaps before the payer does.

Upload a finished assessment and ABA Stack reads it against the payer's own rulebook. Every issue gets a severity, a pin on the exact spot of the page, and a concrete fix. Fix it, re-run free, submit clean.

HIPAA-ready workflow AI runs under a BAA Role-based access

The ABA Stack review screen. A findings rail lists three findings for an initial assessment: high, baseline data does not establish medical necessity; medium, goal lacks a measurable mastery criterion; low, caregiver training frequency not stated. Beside it, the assessment PDF shows each finding highlighted at its exact location.

Finished assessment, state and payer rulebook, findings pinned to the page, fix and re-run free, submit clean.

Ch. 01The problem

A clinically strong report can still come back denied.

This is the story of one assessment: written by a great BCBA, reviewed by a busy team, and submitted to a payer that reads it against rules nobody has in one place.

01

The rules live everywhere

Payer manuals, state guidelines, old denial letters, a senior reviewer's memory. The document is held to a standard nobody can see in full.

02

Review eats expert hours

Your most senior clinicians spend their best hours proofreading for omissions instead of coaching the team and seeing clients.

03

Quality depends on who reads it

The same report passes one review and comes back covered in edits from the next. Without a shared standard, quality is a coin flip.

ABA Stack turns that scattered institutional knowledge into one repeatable quality gate.

Ch. 02The review

It reads the report like the payer will.

Structured review, accountable decisions

The AI finds what deserves attention. The BCBA decides what it means.

Ch. 03The loop

From finished PDF to clean submission.

01Upload

Bring the report you already wrote.

An initial assessment or a renewal, as a PDF. Pick the client's payer and plan, and the review holds the document to that standard. One credit covers the whole authorization, start to finish.

Initial or renewalMatched to payer + planOne credit per authorization
02Audit

Read line by line against the rulebook.

The review holds the document to what this client's payer actually requires, with the judgment of a senior reviewer. It knows the client's history too, down to payer guidance and past denials.

Line by lineThis payer's requirementsThis client's history
03Fix

Every finding is pinned, explained, fixable.

A severity, the exact highlighted region on the page, and remediation steps. The BCBA fixes the document, marks each finding remediated or dismisses it, and every thumbs up or down makes the next review sharper.

04Re-run + submit

Re-run free until it comes back clean.

Upload the revised PDF and re-run. The re-run verifies your fixes instead of fishing for new problems, and it costs nothing. When the report is clean, it goes to admin review for a human sign-off.

Ch. 04The plot twist

When a denial still lands, it makes the next review smarter.

No review catches everything on day one. What matters is that a denial never teaches you the same lesson twice.

  1. Log the denial

    Record what the payer flagged, attach the letter, and capture the guidance they gave.

  2. Re-audit with denial focus

    A focused re-review reads the document again, aimed squarely at what the payer called out.

  3. Carry it forward

    This client's prior denials and payer guidance become part of the context for every audit after that.

Prior denial on file

Reauthorization denied for insufficient progress data on two goals.

Payer guidance captured

Reviewer notes from the payer: graph each goal against its baseline.

Checked before anything ships
The lesson sticks

What this payer flagged once gets caught for every client, before submission.

Ch. 05New territory

New state, same story.

Payer rules are not national, so ABA Stack does not treat them that way. Every review is specific to the client's state, payer, and plan.

  • The standard follows the client. A New Jersey Medicaid review is nothing like a Texas commercial one, and it never gets treated that way.
  • Expanding is loading a rulebook, not rebuilding your QA process. New state, new payers, same loop.
  • No cold start. A new state begins with its payers' requirements in place, not a blank page.

Ch. 06The cast

Everyone plays their part. Nobody plays proofreader.

One review standard, four very different mornings.

BCBA

Know exactly what to fix.

Your caseload only, by design. Findings arrive pinned and explained, so the vague "double-check everything" task becomes a checklist.

Clinical director

Approve or return, with notes.

Review what the AI and the BCBA already resolved, add your own findings right on the page, and sign off without being the bottleneck.

Billing

Own the denial queue.

Log denials, attach payer letters, track dispositions and resubmissions in one place, even if your billing team is external.

Owner

See every authorization at a glance.

Credits, team, and the status of every assessment in flight. Pay per authorization, not per seat.

Ch. 07The fine print

Boringly serious about PHI, on purpose.

Clinical documents deserve safeguards that are always on. These are defaults, not settings your team has to remember to turn on.

AI under a BAA

Reviews run on enterprise cloud infrastructure under a Business Associate Agreement. Outside that coverage, a review does not run at all.

Encrypted, always

Documents and client data are encrypted in transit and at rest.

Minimum necessary access

Access is role-based, and BCBAs see only the clients on their own caseload.

Sessions end themselves

Idle sessions sign out automatically after 45 minutes, so an open laptop is not an open record.
