1 POLICY: PG0335 ORIGINAL EFFECTIVE: 12/17/15 LAST REVIEW: 07/10/18 MEDICAL POLICY Children's Intensive Behavioral Service/ Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) GUIDELINES This policy does not certify benefits or authorization of benefits, which is designated by each individual policyholder contract. Paramount applies coding edits to all medical claims through coding logic software to evaluate the accuracy and adherence to accepted national standards. This guideline is solely for explaining correct procedure reporting and does not imply coverage and reimbursement. DESCRIPTION Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a pervasive developmental neuropsychiatric disorder that manifests early in life (usually within the first few years). The condition is characterized by persistent impairments in social communication and interaction as well as restricted and repetitive interests, activities, or behavioral patterns. There is currently no cure for ASD, nor is there any single treatment for the disorder, although ASD may be managed through a combination of therapies, including behavioral, cognitive, pharmacological, and educational interventions. The goal of treatment for children with ASD is to minimize the severity of autism symptoms, maximize learning, facilitate social integration, and improve quality of life for both autistic individuals and their families or caregivers. One type of behavioral therapy program uses operant conditioning techniques based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) to help individuals with ASD develop skills with social value. Overall, the evidence for ABA-based therapies for treatment of ASD is of low quality, with individual study quality ranging from poor to good. The quality of evidence varied considerably by outcome. There is moderate quality evidence that ABA-based therapies have a positive effect for the outcomes of intelligence/cognitive measures and language skills. Lowquality evidence indicates that ABA-based therapies have a positive effect on the outcome of adaptive behavior and school placement. The evidence would be considered of very low quality for autism severity and visualspatial/nonverbal skills.
