The Freedom to Focus on Clinical Care — We Handle the Rest

Are you a BCBA tired of burnout, impossible caseloads, and drowning in administrative red tape?

At Tellos, we believe that to provide the best clinical outcomes for children, providers need autonomy, support, and a healthy work-life balance .

We are looking for BCBAs located in or near Columbia, South Carolina who want to take control of their careers while focusing on what matters most: exceptional clinical care.

How It Works

Think of this as “plug-and-play” independence. You act as the clinical leader, determining the best course of treatment for your clients. We act as your backend operations team.

You Focus On:

• Clinical decisions and quality of care

• Practicing within your scope

• Connecting with families and truly building a path toward graduation and independence

• Partnering with your staff to achieve the best outcomes

We Handle:

• RBT Staffing: We handle sourcing, vetting, payroll, and retention perks. You make the final decision on who joins your team to ensure the right clinical fit.

• The Paperwork: We handle credentialing, authorizations, billing, and claims submissions.

• Client Acquisition: We manage the referral pipeline and intake process, connecting you directly with families seeking services so you don’t have to worry about marketing or outreach to build your caseload.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Clinically: Conduct robust functional behavior assessments (FBAs) and skill-based assessments to design individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that target meaningful outcomes.

• Drive Treatment Fidelity: Provide competency-based supervision and mentorship to RBTs, ensuring protocols are implemented with high fidelity and clinical rigor.

• Data-Driven Decision Making: Utilize visual data analysis to monitor client progress, modifying instructional protocols and behavior intervention plans (BIPs) in real time to ensure continuous growth.

• Documentation & Medical Necessity: Collaborate with the Tellos admin team to ensure all clinical documentation clearly demonstrates medical necessity, meeting payer standards without compromising clinical depth.

• Facilitate Caregiver Partnership: Partner with families through consistent collaboration and parent coaching to ensure skills generalize to the home environment, driving sustainable, long-term outcomes.
