Unverified as of 2026-10-21: whether New Hampshire requires a state license for BCBAs. BACB's U.S. licensure page (fetched Oct 2026) describes its table as listing 'the states that currently require licensure,' and New Hampshire does not appear in that table. That omission is an observation about the BACB list, not an explicit statement that no NH license is required. A cited NH DHHS guidance document (SFY 2020-05, said to date from Jan 2020) could not be accessed, so its statements about state law and the NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification could not be confirmed. License title, board, board URL, and statute/rule are unverified, not confirmed nonexistent. No conflicting enacted NH law was verified, but no newer NH statute was checked.

Yes, per the sources below.

Conditional coverage is expressly supported. RSA 167:4-d, III(b)-(g) provides Medicaid telehealth coverage and reimbursement on the same basis as in-person services, permits all modes including audiovisual and audio-only, and explicitly includes BACB-certified professionals and people working under their supervision. Clinical appropriateness, medical necessity, enrollment, other coverage conditions, and applicable law remain relevant; this is not an ABA code-by-code payment guarantee. NH Healthy Families policy NH.PP.14, effective September 18, 2020 and last reviewed June 26, 2024, applies to Medicaid and Ambetter and includes the same provider categories. It lists POS 02/10 and modifiers GT/95 but does not provide an ABA-specific code matrix.

RSA 415-J:3 prohibits denial solely because an otherwise covered service uses telemedicine and requires coverage and reimbursement on the same basis as in-person care. It permits all telehealth modes, imposes no originating/distant-site restriction, and expressly includes BACB-certified professionals and supervised persons under subsection XII(k). Medical necessity and policy conditions still apply. The statute's latest listed amendment is effective June 17, 2025. Medicaid has separate parity provisions in RSA 167:4-d.

RSA 167:4-d allows the patient's home and other originating sites. Its prior in-person establishment-of-care provision specifically addresses primary care and remote patient monitoring, subject to exceptions; it does not state an ABA-specific minimum. No payer-specific minimum number of in-person ABA visits was verified. BACB prefers on-site RBT observation but permits qualifying live video supervision.

For RBT certification maintenance, the BACB handbook updated June 2026 permits real-time video supervision. It requires supervision of at least 5% of monthly service hours, at least two real-time face-to-face contacts monthly, observation of service delivery during at least one contact, and at least one individual contact. Telephone or email alone does not satisfy these contacts. These are certification requirements; NH payer authorization and reimbursement for remote supervision remain separate and were not established code by code.
