Introduction
Compliance with state labor laws and payer requirements is a constant concern for ABA practices. Manual timesheet tracking is time-consuming and prone to errors, risking audits or delayed reimbursements. MeasurePM’s automated timesheet feature simplifies compliance while saving hours of administrative work. This blog dives into how automation ensures accuracy and peace of mind.
Why Timesheet Compliance Matters
ABA practices must adhere to complex regulations, including tracking drive time, breaks, and session hours per state labor laws. Payers like Medicaid also require precise documentation to approve claims. A single error—such as an unrecorded break—can lead to rejected claims or fines. Manual processes, like paper timesheets, increase the risk of oversight and cost practices an average of 10 hours weekly in admin time.
