Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy companies provide treatment in multiple settings, including schools, company-owned centers, and patient’s homes, and each is reimbursed differently by each state’s payors. As payors across the country are increasingly adjusting what they pay in each of these venues, companies that are more diversified may be perceived as less risky by investors.
