The ABA Practice Intelligence Platform

Practice intelligence platform for ABA

Boost is an ABA practice intelligence platform: practice management software with practice intelligence and agentic AI built in. Intake, payer contracts, credentialing, caseload management, scheduling, session delivery, billing and reporting come together in one platform built for ABA.

Every step is checked against credentials, authorizations and payer rules, so the work your team does is work that gets paid.

The problem

Why ABA practices outgrow their practice management software

Most ABA software records what happened. It doesn't check whether the work will get paid until the claim comes back.

Handoffs live in inboxes.

Intake, scheduling and billing sit in different tools, so every step depends on someone remembering the next one.

Schedules break the rules quietly.

A session booked against a lapsed authorization or an uncredentialed clinician looks fine until the denial arrives.

Problems surface too late.

By the time a claim fails, the session is weeks old and the fix costs more than the work.

The platform

Inside the ABA practice intelligence platform: every step checked

Intake

Intake: where every clean claim begins

Boost's intake workflow collects what a clean claim needs from day one. Customizable ABA-specific digital forms gather family information, insurance is collected and verified at intake, and event-based prompts send each next step to the right person. A credentialing roster across all payers tracks every clinician and alerts you before a credential expires.

Payer contracts and negotiation

Payer contracts, handled before day one

Boost’s ABA billing team initiates payer contracts, submits applications and provider rosters, and delivers the executed contract, so your practice is in network before the first session is scheduled. See ABA billing services →

Credentialing

Credentialing: every provider, every payer, current

One credentialing roster across all payers, with expiration alerts before a credential lapses, not after. Every booking is checked against credentials, so new hires start billing sooner and nothing quietly lapses.

Caseload management

Balanced caseloads, better outcomes

See how every BCBA and RBT is loaded, with caseload and utilization reporting across your whole team. Match clients by availability, location, authorization and preferences, so assignments stay billable before the schedule breaks.

AI Scheduler

Scheduling that rebuilds the day

When a therapist calls out at 7:04am, the AI Scheduler rebuilds the day and notifies staff and families. It matches clinicians by availability, location, authorization and preferences, with individual and group text support. Every booking is checked against credentials, authorizations and payer rules, and ABA authorization tracking is built in, with active authorization burndown visible the moment you schedule.

Payroll

Paid from the same sessions

Payroll is built from the same sessions you bill, so there is no second set of records to reconcile. Upload it to any external payroll system. Drive time and mileage are fully configurable: define who is eligible, choose best-fit or pessimistic traffic modeling, and review every calculation in the reporting.

Billing

Claims checked before they leave

Boost validates every session before anything is billed. Claims are checked against payer requirements and authorization limits, with real-time error alerts before submission. Errors get fixed while they are cheap, not after a denial.

Collections

Every payer, every family

Integrated payment processing, invoices for institutions such as regional centers and schools, and statements for families and private pay. When a family pays a statement, the payment posts automatically.

Reporting

Data analytics and reporting you can act on

Intake pipeline analytics, full revenue cycle management reporting and a full suite of operational reports: BCBA and RBT caseload and utilization, claims errors, claims status and payment trends. See what is driving revenue while you can still change it.

Agentic AI

How agentic AI runs the busywork

Agentic AI at Boost does the coordination work that eats an operations team's morning. AI does the busywork so people do the care.

  1. 7:04amA therapist calls out.
  2. 7:05amThe agent reads the callout and builds a coverage plan that respects authorizations.
  3. 7:06amIt drafts every text to staff and families.
  4. 7:07amThe day is already rebuilt.
Integrations

Works with your clinical platform

Boost is not an EMR. It works alongside the clinical data platform your clinicians already use, such as HiRasmus, while Boost runs intake, scheduling, payroll, billing and reporting.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is an ABA practice intelligence platform?

An ABA practice intelligence platform combines practice management with live reporting and agentic AI. Instead of only recording what happened, Boost shows what is driving revenue, flags problems before claims go out and handles coordination work like rebuilding the schedule after a callout.

What features should ABA practice management software have?

At minimum: intake, scheduling, authorization tracking, credentialing, payroll, billing, collections and reporting in one system. Strong options also check work against credentials, authorizations and payer rules before it is billed. Boost does that at every step and adds agentic AI that handles coordination, such as rebuilding the schedule after a callout.

Is Boost an EMR?

No. Boost is a practice intelligence platform, not an EMR. It works alongside the clinical data platform your clinicians already use, such as HiRasmus, and runs the operational and financial side of the practice: intake, scheduling, payroll, billing, collections and reporting.

How does AI scheduling handle cancellations in an ABA clinic?

When a clinician calls out, the AI Scheduler rebuilds the day. It matches replacements by availability, location, authorization and preferences, checks each booking against credentials and payer rules, and notifies staff and families by individual or group text, so your team starts from a finished plan instead of a blank schedule.

Can ABA software track authorizations and hours remaining?

Yes. Boost shows active authorization burndown at the moment you schedule and checks every booking against authorization limits. Claims are checked against authorization limits again before submission, with real-time error alerts, which keeps sessions inside authorized hours and stops over-unit claims before they reach the payer.

How does ABA software handle payroll and mileage?

In Boost, payroll is built from the same sessions you bill and uploads to any external payroll system. Drive time and mileage rules are fully configurable, including who is eligible and whether to use best-fit or pessimistic traffic modeling, with full reporting in the platform.

What is agentic AI in ABA practice management?

Agentic AI handles multi-step coordination work instead of only answering questions. In Boost, when a therapist calls out, the agent reads the callout, builds a coverage plan that respects authorizations and drafts every text to staff and families. The day is already rebuilt. AI does the busywork so people do the care.

How is Boost priced?

Boost is priced as a percentage of the claims that run through the platform, not per user or per seat. Your cost tracks your practice's revenue, so adding clinicians never means renegotiating licenses.

Built to scale. Designed for behavioral health.
