About this Session:

In August 2026, CMS released its first-ever toolkit focused on Applied Behavior Analysis, a resource aimed at state Medicaid and CHIP agencies covering everything from benefit design to documentation to provider credentialing. 

If you've heard about it but haven't had time to dig in, this is a good place to start. We asked a few of our internal SMEs to walk through what's in the toolkit, what it means, and what's still unclear.
