Operating Context
AnswersNow operates a virtual-first autism care model centered on direct delivery by Master’s- and PhD-level BCBAs, with parents serving as the primary executors of day-to-day intervention. The organization positions its approach as an alternative to traditional, center-based ABA models that rely on high weekly clinical hours and paraprofessional staffing layers.
Public-facing materials emphasize reduced therapy hours, faster access to care, and a delivery structure intended to improve affordability and scalability for payors while maintaining clinical rigor through senior-level clinicians. The model is designed to operate independently of physical clinics and regional site capacity.
Operational Signals
Staffing & Clinical Design
AnswersNow emphasizes exclusive use of licensed BCBAs, with no public indication of an RBT staffing layer. This suggests a deliberately centralized, senior-clinician-led model in which parent-mediated execution is a core component of care delivery rather than a supplemental feature. The structure signals an intentional effort to decouple outcomes from therapist volume and total billable hours.
Intake & Access
Messaging highlights rapid access and strong parent engagement, indicating intake workflows optimized for remote onboarding, caregiver readiness, and early clinical engagement, rather than site-based availability constraints.
Scheduling & Delivery
A fully virtual delivery model supports low-hour, high-intensity clinical touchpoints, distributed clinician capacity, and flexible scheduling without dependence on travel time or physical infrastructure.
Revenue/Payor Context
Multi-state virtual operations imply engagement with a mix of commercial and Medicaid payors across varying regulatory environments. The company’s emphasis on reduced clinical hours and parent-mediated care aligns with broader payor interest in cost containment and alternative autism care delivery models.
