🔔 Important Update for Texas ABA Providers

Magellan is exiting many markets as a TPA for ABA services. For Texas Medicaid MCOs and BCBSTX, ABA benefit administration will transition from Magellan to the parent health plan effective 12/31/2025.

✅ Until then:
-Magellan will continue authorizing care in 180-day increments.
-Parent plans will honor existing authorizations through their full duration.

⚠️ Action Items:
-Confirm you’re in-network with each parent plan (e.g., BCBSTX, Superior, Dell Children’s).
-Review each plan’s policies and credentialing requirements.
-Identify and inform affected clients about potential changes.

🗓 New authorizations must be submitted to the parent plan starting 1/1/2026. If you have specific questions regarding Magellan, please email us [email protected] or reach out to your Magellan contact.

Mornings have gotten harder as cooler weather comes into the Bay Area. My son will be 2 in a matter of days and his desire for independence and love for saying no is ever present. I’ve been using timers every day for a few weeks now and it does seem to help!

Interactive notebooks are one of my favorite tools, especially for individual lessons!

They are a great way to help kids do a deep dive on a topic, and they can take the materials home!

This page comes from my set of 8 interactive notebook pages that help kids become more familiar with their feelings, learn to recognize when their feelings are getting intense, and develop positive coping skills.
