UX & intake design for ABA providers in New Mexico.
An ABA intake journey in New Mexico has to sort families by things specific to New Mexico: whether their plan falls under H.B. 82 (2013), whether they're on Medicaid, and how far they are from your nearest clinic. We design the path so those answers arrive before the first call.

The New Mexico read
What UX & intake has to solve in New Mexico.
Eligibility up front
The New Mexico mandate has no age limit, so your journey should welcome older children, teens, and adults explicitly - most ABA sites implicitly speak only to parents of toddlers.
Payer language
Families recognize their plan, not the statute. Name the carriers and Medicaid plans you accept the way New Mexico families say them, and explain that the state mandate has no annual dollar cap at the moment they're deciding whether to inquire.
Distance & modality
Providers concentrated in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Rural and tribal communities have very limited ABA access. Telehealth is allowed in New Mexico (no specific restrictions on telehealth ABA), so families outside your clinics' drive radius shouldn't hit a dead end: intake should route by zip code to in-home or telehealth options - and say clearly when neither fits.
Clinical handoff
BCBA capacity is set by supervision rules - in New Mexico: Follows BACB guidelines (1:6–8 BCBA to RBT ratio recommended). Capturing schedule, setting, and location preferences up front lets coordinators match families to real caseload openings instead of a generic queue.

FAQ
UX & intake questions from New Mexico.
Q.01What should an ABA intake form ask families in New Mexico?
Only what intake needs to route them: the child's age, insurance carrier or Medicaid plan, zip code, preferred setting (center, home, school, telehealth), and the best time to call. Clinical history can wait for the call - asking for it up front costs inquiries before trust exists.
Q.02Should a New Mexico ABA site speak to teens and adults?
If you serve them, yes. The New Mexico mandate has no age limit, so older clients are often coverable, but most ABA sites speak only to parents of young children. A distinct path for teens and adults - and for the caregivers or clients themselves - captures demand competitors overlook.
Q.03How should a New Mexico ABA provider present Medicaid on its site?
Plainly and early. Say whether you accept Medicaid in New Mexico, which Medicaid plans you're in network with, and what a family needs to start - usually a diagnosis and a referral. Families on Medicaid often assume they'll be turned away; a clear answer keeps them from leaving.
