(Part 2 of 2) Grab a seat and pour yourself a cold one! In this episode, Mike and Dan are cracking open the white paper from Optum, titled "Low Hours, High Impact".

For years, the "more is better" 40-hour-a-week model has been the industry standard, but the data is starting to tell a different story. We’re diving deep into the science and the shift toward Value-Based Care, exploring how focused, high-quality interventions can sometimes move the needle further than pure volume.

In this "pour," we’re serving up:

• The 40-Hour Hangover: Why the "intensive" model might not always be the most effective for every learner, especially the little ones.
• Efficiency on Tap: Breaking down Optum’s findings on how lower-intensity, high-precision services can drive meaningful clinical outcomes.
• The Payer’s Perspective: A look at how major payers like Optum are redefining "Medical Necessity" and what that means for your clinic's billing and documentation in 2026.
• Quality over Quantity: How to advocate for the right amount of hours without sacrificing progress or burning out your RBTs.

Whether you're a BCBA navigating authorization battles or a business owner looking at the future of ABA funding, this episode delivers the straight talk you need—minus the boring jargon.
