Read before using these numbers

Where a range is shown, the top figure is the Column 1 psychiatrist / MD-DO rate, not a behavior-analyst rate. A licensed behavior analyst bills Column 3 and a licensed assistant behavior analyst Column 4.
Kentucky's professional codes (97151, 97155, 97156, 97157, 97158) are tiered across four provider-credential columns — the ranges below run from the highest tier to the lowest; see the schedule's notes for the exact tier definitions.
Technician codes (97152, 97153, 97154) are billed RBT-only with the UC modifier at a flat rate. 0362T/0373T were not located in this schedule.
