CEU: Ethics Code in Action: Sections 1.0 to 3.0 Ethics of Fraudulent Billing

BCBA CEUs: 2- Type II, BACB General or Ethics

QABA CEUs: 2- General

In this webinar, we explored in detail code sections 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 of the Ethics Code. In Code 1.0, we took an in-depth look at the meanings behind Boundaries of Competence, Integrity, and Conflicts of Interest, three common areas of ethical conflict. In Code 2.0, we explored a Behavior Analyst’s responsibility to clients, which include, but are not limited to, Confidentiality, Treatment Efficacy, Financial Arrangements, Accuracy in Billing, and Discontinuation of Services. In Code 3.0, we will explore Assessment, consent regarding Assessment, and Consent regarding Client Records.
