BCBA Assessment Writer Opportunity

Join United Care ABA in a specialized clinical role focused on high-level assessment, analysis, and documentation. This position is designed for BCBAs who want to develop and operate at an advanced level in assessment writing—producing precise, audit-ready reports that meet the requirements of each state and payer.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a standard BCBA role. You will be trained and supported to become a high-level assessment writer, with a focus on:

• Producing top-tier, audit-ready assessments

• Aligning diagnoses, clinical observations, and treatment goals with DSM-5 criteria

• Meeting varying state and insurance requirements with accuracy and consistency

• Strengthening clinical reasoning and medical necessity justification

What You’ll Do

• Conduct initial assessments (97151) and reassessments

• Develop comprehensive, high-quality reports that clearly support diagnosis and treatment recommendations

• Align all clinical findings and goals with DSM-5 criteria and functional impairments

• Ensure documentation meets state-specific, payer-specific, and regulatory requirements

• Provide strong, defensible medical necessity language to support authorization

• Collaborate with intake, credentialing, and clinical teams to ensure smooth case progression

• Participate in internal quality assurance and clinical review processes

What We Offer

• Flexible scheduling (remote and hybrid options available)

• Competitive compensation based on experience

• Bonus opportunities tied to quality and productivity

• Ongoing training to develop high-level assessment writing skills

• Clinical mentorship and structured feedback

• Opportunities to grow into QA, training, and leadership roles

What We’re Looking For

• Active BCBA certification

• Master’s degree in ABA or related field

• Strong foundation in assessment and treatment planning

• Interest in developing advanced clinical writing and diagnostic alignment skills

• Understanding of medical necessity and insurance-driven documentation

• Detail-oriented with strong analytical thinking

Why This Role Matters

High-quality assessments are the foundation of effective and ethical ABA services. This role ensures that every case begins with clarity, accuracy, and a strong clinical rationale—leading to better outcomes for clients and stronger compliance across the organization.
