We would like to thank Rethink Behavioral Health for their ongoing sponsorship of ASAT at the Champion level!
Smarter billing get companies stronger results. RethinkBH has developed ABA organizations that need to standardize billing, improve revenue predictability, and reduces claim rejections. Claim rejections are the major cause of delayed payments. With RethinkBH technology claims are generated automatically using the session data your clinicians capture at sessions. This seamless data flow direct from session to payment distinguishes RethinkBH from other companies servicing providers who work under the medical services model. Potential issues are flagged before submission so you submit audit-ready claims the first time, every time.

RethinkBH, thank you again for your ongoing, generous support!

We would like to thank Lovaas Institute Midwest for their increasing their sponsorship of ASAT, now at the Champion level!
At the heart of the work at Lovaas Institute Midwest is the belief that each individual can learn academic, social, and life skills when taught using a curriculum that is individualized to their strengths and needs. The program at Lovaas Institute Midwest is based on the tenets of ABA and is backed by over 40 years of research demonstrating its effectiveness as a treatment for autism.
Families are an integral part of the treatment team at Lovaas Midwest, and clinicians work closely with caregivers when creating learning activities. Sessions take place at home, in the park, and at the library or local diner – all with the goal of maximizing independence and community involvement.
