Autism Care Demonstration: Submitting Applied Behavior Analysis Provider Rosters

Please note Health Net Federal Services, LLC's (HNFS') roster submission process for applied behavior analysis (ABA) providers. 

Network Provider Roster Template

HNFS offers a TRICARE Provider Roster template for network provider groups to use when adding new providers who need to be credentialed or certified, and to submit demographic updates. 

• Review all tabs on the roster template. There are multiple tabs, including a "How to Complete" and "How to Submit" tabs with instructions to help ensure a successful roster submission.
  
  
• Please use our dedicated email for ABA rosters. Submit all ABA roster submissions to: HNFS_ABARosters@hnfs.com. 
  
  
• Attach the required Basic Life Support (BLS)/Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and criminal history background check (CHBC) documentation to the roster for all new ABA providers added. 

• Be sure to complete all required columns in the TRICARE Provider Roster template and follow the specific field instructions. We are unable to process incomplete rosters.

Check out our Network TRICARE Provider Roster Tutorial for a visual walkthrough on filling out the roster template and tips for avoiding common mistakes.
 

Basic Life Support and Criminal History Background Check Documentation 

As of July 1, 2021, HNFS must collect copies of BLS/CPR and CHBC certifications for all ABA providers. TRICARE requires CHBCs include current federal, state and county criminal and sex offender reports for all locations worked or resided in over the past 10 years. 

Behavior technicians:

• Submit copies of BLS/CPR and CHBC certifications with the roster for all new behavior technicians (BTs). No other documentation for BTs needs to be submitted. In order for us to meet the 10-day BT certification requirement, we will be unable to accept or process rosters submitted without this required documentation.
  
  
• HNFS will collect copies of BLS/CPR and CHBC certification for existing BTs who do not have copies on file during the recertification process.

ABA supervisors and assistant behavior analysts

• Submit copies of BLS/CPR and CHBC certifications with the roster for all new ABA supervisors and assistant behavior analysts.
  
  
• HNFS will request copies of BLS/CPR and CHBC certifications for existing ABA supervisors and assistant behavior analysts during the re-credentialing for those who do not have copies on file.
