Behavioral Concepts, Inc. (BCI), a company of behavioral clinicians specializing in the care of children with autism in Central Massachusetts, recently unveiled an online enrollment function on its website, www.bciaba.org.
The new feature enables applicants to start the enrollment process by providing basic contact and insurance information online. That includes parent/guardian information, patient information (including diagnosis, with space for additional details) and insurance information (ID, Policy/Group, co-pay, deductible, etc.). Once completed, the form can be securely submitted online.
“There aren’t many children, ASD or not, who want to get in the car, travel for several minutes and then sit around and watch their parent or guardian fill out paperwork,” said BCI Founder Dr. Jeffrey Robinson. “The new online enrollment gives parents and guardians the option to fill out the initial paperwork in the privacy of their own home without making the trip.”

Adds Robinson, “This is not to say we don’t encourage people to visit and check us out in person. But for convenience sake we wanted to give them that option.”
