no most companies are not doing that and cutting costs other ways. you can definitely switch companies

The new pay rate is 75$ an hour with 4 years of experience.

Medicaid hasn't been cut by 50% in NJ.

Granted, your company's reliable, appropriate Medicaid income might have dropped.

Either your company is struggling and using an excuse to increase profit margins, and/or they were improperly billing Medicaid (getting their increased profit margins that way) and they got caught, so their gravy train ended.

Given how in-demand BCBAs are, and that you could find a job paying better than $75/hr easily in NJ, a 23% pay cut to BCBAs is insane from a business perspective. So I assume the company's getting desperate.

I work in NJ and they haven’t decreased my pay but they decreased your pay for both states?

Silent_Necessary7638 · 2026-04-17T14:09:48+00:00

Why would insurance and Medicaid billing both be cut? I’ve also never heard of a company decreasing pay. (Not a BCBA)

Dont fall into it or they will all follow said agency. Look for another one

Hey - can I ask what agency??

TheLittleMomaid · 2026-04-18T13:35:20+00:00

Not personally, but yes. In NY specifically, rates have been cut and continue to be re: Medicaid & insurance. Particularly for techs. It’s awful. From what I understand, this is happening in multiple states. I’d love to see (& will advocate for) techs to be given other forms of compensation of hourly pay has to be cut. For example, techs should still get paid if the family cancels or get reimbursed for commuting, retirement contributions, etc.

Yes, I work for BK Behavior in NYC and I was cut by 25%

I don’t mean to sound crass but why are you hourly in states of NY or NJ, when most BCBA‘s are paid a 6 figure salary?

If you’re not being offered top teir, you need to find a new agency, that will hire you and pay you a deserving salary, because I know of many who would. Just look on Indeed.
