Revenue model

1. ABA Therapy Services (Insurance-Reimbursed): Center-based ABA therapy services for autistic learners, billed to insurance. The company accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), MedCost, and North Carolina Medicaid, with many plans covering a significant portion or all of therapy costs. Cost varies by insurance plan specifics, with families potentially responsible for deductibles, co-pays, or co-insurance. Therapy intensity ranges from 15-40 hours per week depending on program.
2. Specialized Programs: Revenue from specialized programs including Building Bridges (early intervention, 30 hrs/week), BRIDGES (ADL program, 30-40 hrs/week), Social Skills Groups (10 hrs/week), Vocational Skills Program (10+ hrs/week), and Balance Program (telehealth). Programs accept BCBS, MedCost, and Medicaid.
3. Autism Diagnostic Assessments: Autism diagnostic and evaluation services conducted at all three centers, billed through insurance.
4. Private Pay: Private pay option available for families without insurance coverage. Cost without insurance can be significant, varying based on therapy intensity and frequency.
