MVP (NY): ABA Services Coverage update DOS 10/01/21 and thereafter

This blog post applies to physicians that are providing ABA ( Applied Behavior Analysis) services to MVP Managed Medicaid Patients.

Earlier this year MVP sent a notice to patients and Physicians that ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) services will be covered for patients under 21 years old that have the MVP Managed Medicaid Plan, effective 10/01/2021

However, NY DOH (NY Department of Health) changed that for DOS 10/01/2021 and thereafter.

As of now ABA services are NOT COVERED FOR MVP Managed Medicaid Plans (for patients 21 years old and younger).

NY DOH will continue to cover the ABA Services for only Medicaid fee-for-service members, 21 years old and younger.

MVP is monitoring NY DOH and will make timely updates available as applicable.
