ABA scheduling software that checks the authorization first

ABA scheduling software books sessions against payer authorizations rather than against an empty calendar. MegAligna checks the delivering staff member's credential against the CPT code, their availability, the client's remaining authorized units and the place of service, and shows the warning in the booking slot, not in next month's report.

Scheduling questions

What gets checked when a session is booked?
Four things: whether the staff member's credential permits the CPT code being scheduled, whether they are available, whether the client has authorized units remaining for that code in that period, and the place of service for the session.
Does it block a booking or just warn?
Configurable per practice. Some agencies want a hard block past the authorized balance; others deliberately schedule beyond it while a re-authorization is pending and want a warning they can override with a reason.
Why track cancellation reasons?
Because payers read utilization. Distinguishing a client cancellation from a staff cancellation from a holiday is what lets you defend your hours at re-authorization, and it drives the backfill decision on the day.
Does it handle recurring sessions?
Yes, recurring series are materialized ahead of time and expand in the location's own time zone, which matters for agencies working across state lines.

The warning belongs where the decision is

A scheduler booking a session is deciding something. Telling them afterwards that the session was unauthorized does not undo the drive, the staff hours or the payroll. So the remaining-units state is rendered in the booking slot itself, before the click that commits it. The same balance drives three states: comfortable, burning faster than the period allows, and exhausted, and whether the third one blocks the booking or warns with an override is your practice’s setting, not ours.

What this ABA scheduling software does

  • Included

    Credential against code

    Technician-delivered and supervisor-delivered codes are checked against the staff member's current credential, using the credential registry with expiry dates rather than a static role.

  • Included

    Remaining authorized units

    Units authorized, less units delivered, less units already reserved by future scheduled sessions, per client, per code, per authorization period.

  • Included

    Place of service per session

    Office, home, school or telehealth recorded on the session itself, with per-payer defaults, because acceptance varies by payer and by state program.

  • Included

    Cancellation reason codes

    A short, ordered list captured in two interactions at the front desk, feeding a per-client and per-staff utilization report.

  • Included

    Recurring series

    Recurring appointments materialized ahead, expanded in the location time zone so daylight-saving changes do not shift sessions.

  • Roadmap

    Staff rostering and shift bidding

    On the roadmap. Today, sessions are booked against each staff member's availability; full rota building and shift bidding will be listed as shipped only once they are.

Telehealth sessions

Sessions can be marked as telehealth, which sets the place of service and the modifier on the resulting charge. The video call itself is yours, you bring a video tool your practice already holds an agreement with. No video is embedded in this product.

Which codes a payer accepts by telehealth is per-payer, per-state and still moving, so it is configuration in the payer record here, and deliberately not a table on this page. Publish-and-forget telehealth eligibility guidance is how software vendors generate other people’s denials.
