Private Pay Financial Agreement – SUFS
Process
To receive reimbursement through SUFS, parents will receive an invoice from BMC to be paid through the SUFS system. The parents are responsible for entering the billing information into their SUFS portal. When it is successfully entered into the system, BMC will be alerted the payment has been entered and submitted for our approval. Note: the process is now initiated by the parents, and this should be done as soon as possible following the receipt of the invoice from BMC. Families should expect this invoice to be sent through email on file to the parent. For use of SUFS for copay amounts, the invoice will be delivered to the family after the insurance processes the initial claim. For any questions about the SUFS system, please email Ms. Rhonda Luttrell at rluttrell@bmcsoutheast.com.
As it will be noted in your award information, these grants extend from July 1 to June 30. As a result, claims for the prior fiscal year are due no later than July 31. Therefore, claims that are not in the SUFS system by that time may not be payable, so it is important to get the claim information in as soon as possible at this time of year. The family will be responsible for any claim that is not entered in a timely manner, resulting in a denial due to the lapse of time across fiscal years. Please see all information from your SUFS grant award regarding timely processing of claims for payment.
Rates
BMC is dedicated to quality services provided by quality providers at the level of experience and credentialing determined by the lead BCBA to be the most appropriate for successful delivery of Behavior Analysis services. Therefore, your BMC team may include several therapists with different levels of credentials and experience. Any specific names are listed as current options, but may change based on clinical need or other changes which will be communicated with the family at least 30 days in advance of the change.
- Lead/Consulting BCBA – $100/hr – Work conducted by the BCBA will include supervision of the RBT services at no less than 5% of scheduled RBT hours in addition to parent training, consultation with the RBT, data analysis and report writing.
- Direct RBT services - $50/hr – Work conducted by the RBT is direct and active treatment. There may be some time associated with data analysis, entry and programming, which will reduce the cost of the BCBA conducting such necessary work.
**Data analysis and programming, as a necessary component of behavior analysis services, will be billed on an hourly basis either during times scheduled for therapy at the clinic/home, or off site a times not scheduled for therapy.
Time, Method and Manner of Payment
BMC currently uses an online system (Intuit QuickBooks Online) for invoicing, billing, and payments. You will receive your invoice through email. It will say in the subject line, “Invoice from Behavior Management Consultants.” If there is a particular email address you want these sent to, we recommend a personal email versus a work email, due to spam filters. Please email that information to ldurkin@bmcsoutheast.com. You can also add bmcoffice@bmcsoutheast.com to your contact list so that may prevent invoices going to spam.
*Following the first full month of services, please check your “spam folder” to make sure you are receiving your invoices. If not, please contact ldurkin@bmcsoutheast.com.
