EMR Alternatives

CentralReach alternative

CentralReach alternative: recover the hours before you migrate

Measure the authorized hours leaking through cancellations and callouts, and recover them beside the EMR you already run. A recovery layer, not a replacement.

Scheduling & Recovery

what counts as a recovered ABA session

What counts as a recovered ABA session?

A recovered ABA session is one that was delivered, not one that was rescheduled. Why counting a booking as a recovery inflates every number under it, what one cancelled session costs a child, a technician, and a clinic, and how to count an hour honestly. Payer-neutral, not billing advice.

Read: what counts as a recovered ABA session

aba software for cancellations

What should ABA software actually do about cancellations?

Cancellation software does two jobs: show you the pattern, and decide what happens to the hour afterward. In Infinite Suite OS that second job is a makeup the family approves, or an open hour a qualified technician may claim. Plus a checklist for any tool. Payer-neutral, not billing advice.

Read: aba software for cancellations

what happens to a cancelled aba session

What happens to a cancelled ABA session?

When an ABA session cancels the calendar slot is gone for good, but the authorized unit behind it usually survives until the authorization period ends. What dies, what lives, and why cancelled and lost are not the same word. Payer-neutral, not billing advice.

Read: what happens to a cancelled aba session

how to recover cancelled aba hours

How do you recover cancelled ABA hours?

Recovering a cancelled ABA hour is a sequence: catch it early, sort it into a family cancellation or a staff callout, make the open hour visible, keep the family approval step, and count it only at delivery. It runs on a whiteboard. Payer-neutral, not billing or clinical advice.

Read: how to recover cancelled aba hours

aba cancellation policy makeup sessions

What should an ABA cancellation policy say about makeup sessions?

An ABA cancellation policy can set a notice window and define how a makeup is offered and approved. It cannot compel a family. Word the makeup as an offer the family accepts, and require it to land inside the same authorization period. Payer-neutral, not legal advice.

Read: aba cancellation policy makeup sessions

aba utilization and cancellation rate

How do you measure ABA utilization and cancellation rate?

Measure four numbers from your own schedule: authorized hours against delivered hours, family cancellation rate, staff callout rate, and how many cancelled hours came back delivered. A rebooking is not a recovery. Payer-neutral, not billing or legal advice.

Read: aba utilization and cancellation rate

Staff Coverage

rbt callout coverage

How do you cover an RBT callout without assigning someone?

Cover an RBT callout by offering the hour, not assigning it: why the 7am group text fails quietly, what a claim-by-choice open-hour board does instead, and why being asked is different from being assigned. Nothing is ever auto-assigned. Payer-neutral, not clinical or billing advice.

EVV hard edits 2026

EVV hard edits in 2026, and how to keep claims from bouncing

In 2026 several states move home-based Medicaid services from soft EVV edits to hard edits that auto-reject non-compliant claims. See the confirmed 2026 examples and how to avoid rejects. Payer-neutral, not legal advice.

Read: EVV hard edits 2026

why EVV claims get denied 2026

Why EVV claims get denied in 2026

EVV claims get denied in 2026 when the visit record does not match the claim, when manual edits cross a state threshold, or when required elements are missing. Payer-neutral, not legal advice.

CO-197 denial prevention ABA

CO-197 denial prevention for ABA clinics

what happens to unused aba authorization units

What happens to unused ABA authorization units?

Units are approved for a period and generally do not roll over past it, so an unused unit is usually a unit gone. Why utilization runs like a clock, and why an hour counts only when it is delivered inside the same period. Payer-neutral, not billing advice.

Pricing

Infinite Suite OS Pricing Is Per Active Client, Not Per Staff Seat

Infinite Suite OS pricing, published in the open and on two tiers. The recovery layer runs beside your EMR: $15 per active client per month founding, locked for life, from a $29 regular list. The full suite, the tier that replaces the EMR, is $25 per active client per month founding, locked for life, from a $49 regular list. The full suite is not released. Its price is published now so a clinic can plan, and the product sold today is the recovery layer. Unlimited staff and family/caregiver accounts on both. Self-serve setup is free; onboarding beyond it is a paid service, included for founding clinics.
