NPPES, CAQH, Availity, and every payer roster run on their own clocks. We manage all of them for ABA and behavioral health providers, so your directory listings stay accurate, your claims keep paying, and nothing lapses.
Payers have put provider data on a schedule, and the schedule got stricter in 2026. Directory information must now be verified every 90 days through Availity, and several Florida plans accept demographic changes and roster uploads only through the Availity Provider Data Management application. Florida Medicaid behavior analysis providers must hold an active NPI to enroll and bill, a requirement that reaches every RBT on your roster. CAQH profiles still expire every 120 days, and recredentialing cycles keep running in the background whether anyone is watching or not.
Missing any one of these clocks has the same result: removal from directories, suspended claims, or a lapsed contract. Most ABA agencies discover a problem only when the remittances stop. Our provider data management services exist so you never make that discovery.
We set up, clean up, and maintain your organization's profile in Availity Essentials, and we complete your 90-day directory attestations across every contracted payer, on time, every quarter. For plans that route all demographic changes and roster files exclusively through Availity PDM, we manage the entire intake channel on your behalf, so one missed portal task never becomes a directory removal.
From new Type 1 NPIs for incoming RBTs and BCBAs to organization NPIs and taxonomy corrections, we keep your NPPES records accurate and aligned with your enrollment and billing setup. With Florida Medicaid now requiring an active NPI for behavior analysis providers, we make sure every practitioner on your roster meets the requirement before it ever touches a claim.
Every payer wants roster changes in its own format, on its own form, through its own channel. We prepare and submit practitioner additions and terminations across all of your contracted plans, track each one to written confirmation, and keep your internal roster reconciled with what each payer actually shows. New hires start billable sooner, and departed staff stop appearing in directories they should have left months ago.
Commercial recredentialing typically comes due every two to three years, and Medicaid revalidation runs on its own cycle. We track every practitioner's dates, begin outreach months before each deadline, and prepare, submit, and follow each recredentialing application through payer confirmation. Your clinicians keep treating; we keep them in network.
A new location, a changed phone number, an updated pay-to address: small changes that have to reach every payer, correctly, or claims and directories drift out of sync. We submit demographic updates across your contracted payers through each plan's required channel and confirm that every change actually took effect.
We work with ABA therapy agencies, BCBA-owned practices, multidisciplinary organizations with ABA departments, behavioral health clinics, and pediatric therapy practices adding speech, occupational, or physical therapy services. Our home base is Miami-Dade County, Florida, with deep fluency in Florida Medicaid, AHCA enrollment, and the SMMC managed care plans, and we support providers nationwide.

No. We are not a billing agent, and our services are designed to work alongside whoever handles your claims, in-house or outsourced. Clean provider data is what makes their job work.
No one can, and you should be cautious of anyone who says otherwise. Panel decisions, timelines, and rates remain at each payer's discretion. What we control is the quality, completeness, and follow-up of everything submitted on your behalf.
