The fieldwork hours youalready worked, already counted

Every session in Cognix Health already records the date, minutes, code, setting and supervisor. We turn that into a drafted BACB entry overnight — so your month is written before you open it.

  • Supervised and concentrated pathways
  • BACB 2022 and 2027 rules checked side by side

The unfair advantage

Your fieldwork is already in your calendar

A standalone tracker asks you ten questions per session. Cognix Health already has all ten answers — you scheduled the session, billed the code and ran the supervision here.

Nothing counts until you confirm it. Confirming both is one tap.

Field by field, where each answer comes from

Eight things the BACB asks about an hour of fieldwork — all answerable from the session itself.

Session start and end time

Entry date, times and minutes

To the minute, straight from the schedule.

The CPT code you billed

Restricted or unrestricted

Through your practice’s own code map — not a generic default.

A supervision that overlapped the session

The supervised slice, split out

One session becomes two entries, cut at the exact overlap.

Your supervisor on that supervision

Supervisor name and BACB ID

Already attached to the hour they supervised.

Supervisor present with the same client

Observation minutes

2027 wants 60–90 minutes a month. Your calendar proves them.

How many trainees were on the supervision

Individual or group, and group size

The 50% group cap only works if the split is right.

Place of service and location

In person or online, and the setting

Telehealth becomes online; the location becomes the setting.

Service name and organization

Activity description and organization

Reads like real work, and never names a client.

A spreadsheet or a standalone tracker

Ten answers you type again, per session

  • The date, and the start and end time
  • How many minutes that adds up to
  • Whether it was restricted or unrestricted
  • Whether any of it was supervised
  • Exactly how many of those minutes were supervised
  • Which supervisor, and their BACB ID
  • Whether they observed you with a client, and for how long
  • Individual or group, and how many trainees
  • In person or online
  • The setting and the organization

Several hundred sessions × ten fields = thousands of chances to type the wrong thing.

Fieldwork

One answer, and only when we are unsure

  • Green. Mapped cleanly. Confirm the whole month in one tap.
  • Amber. Genuinely needed a human — usually restricted or unrestricted.
  • Red. An unmapped code. One decision, then it is done.

Your attention goes to the handful of judgement calls, not to data entry you already did once.

What you get

Six things a fieldwork tracker has to get right

Counting hours is the easy part. The split, the percentages, the signatures and the ownership are what decide whether your record survives an audit.

01

Drafting

Your hours are written before you open the app

Sessions become drafted entries overnight — already split, categorised and graded.

  • One tap for the clean ones. Confirm every high-confidence draft in the month together.
  • Split at the exact overlap. Supervised minutes separated from independent ones, automatically.
  • Only the real judgement calls. Amber drafts name the decision they need, and nothing else asks.
  • A session changed later? The entry is flagged, never silently rewritten.

Compliance

Every requirement checked while you can still fix it

Seven monthly checks, run continuously against both BACB rule sets at once.

  • Hours. Against your pathway’s monthly floor and ceiling.
  • Supervision share. 5%, 7.5% or 10% — whichever applies to you.
  • Observation. Monthly contacts under 2022, minutes under 2027.
  • Group cap and unrestricted floor. 50% and 60%, tracked cumulatively.

Verification

Sign the month where the hours already live

The numbers arrive in BACB form order, so there is nothing to reconcile first.

  • Countersigned in the app. Or by secure link, if your supervisor is outside the practice.
  • Sent back? Your signature voids. Nothing stale is ever countersigned.
  • Locks when complete. Summary PDF stored, copy archived for seven years.
  • Reminders for both of you. On the 20th, and three days before the deadline.

Planning

A finish date you can actually trust

Tell it when you want to apply. It tells you the hours per week that gets you there.

  • Respects the monthly ceiling. It never proposes a month you are not allowed to claim.
  • Watches the mix, not just the total. Warns when your unrestricted or supervision share drifts.
  • Vacations and heavy weeks. Add them as one-offs and the plan re-cuts around them.

Planner

Target: Feb 2027

Hours per week needed to finish on time

Week of 21 Sep is light. Your unrestricted share drops below 60% unless you add 4 hours of program writing.

Migration

Bring the hours you have already earned

Hours from Ripley, a spreadsheet or paper go in month by month, as you reported them.

  • One row per month. No rebuilding individual sessions.
  • Attach the signed form. The one you already have, kept with the month.
  • Counted in full. Toward your total and your five-year window.

No guessing

Both rule sets, checked at the same time

Which rules apply depends on when you apply for certification — not when you worked the hours. So every month is measured against both.

BCaBA thresholds differ and are checked the same way: 1,300 or 1,000 hours under the 2022 rules, 1,300 or 800 under 2027, against a 40% unrestricted floor. Always confirm current requirements with the BACB.

How it works

Four habits, and the record writes itself

Nothing changes about how you deliver sessions. The only new habit is a minute of confirming, most days.

  1. 1

    Once, about two minutes

    Open it from your profile

    Add a personal login, pick your credential, pathway and target month, and name your supervisor. They accept once — their BACB details then ride on every month you sign.

  2. 2

    A minute a day

    Review your drafts

    Yesterday’s sessions are already waiting. Confirm the clean ones together; decide the few that need you.

  3. 3

    As it happens

    Add the off-calendar work

    Program writing, graphing and analysis never appear as a session. Log them in seconds, on web or mobile.

  4. 4

    Once a month

    Sign at month end

    Review in BACB form order and sign. Your supervisor countersigns before the deadline, with reminders for both of you.

For practice owners and supervising BCBAs

Your trainees stop chasing you, and you stop chasing them

The month you attest to is built from your own schedule — the numbers your practice already recorded. Included free for staff at practices on Cognix Health.

One page for every trainee you supervise

Requests, months awaiting your signature, and every trainee at a glance: on track, at risk, or waiting on you. Fieldwork managers see the whole organization.

Nothing slips past the BACB deadline

Notified when a trainee signs, and again three days before the deadline. Countersign, or send it back with a note.

No new tool for anyone to learn

Countersign from the same dashboard where you already approve supervision. Staff Supervisions for RBTs keeps working alongside it.

Bring Fieldwork to your team

Already on Cognix Health? It turns on for your trainees at no extra cost — a real retention argument for the BCBAs you are growing. New to us? We will show you both.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who is Fieldwork for?

Staff working toward BCBA or BCaBA certification at practices that use Cognix Health, and the BCBAs who supervise them. Trainees whose practice does not use Cognix Health can create an account directly and track on a Personal plan.

Do I have to enter my sessions again?

No. Sessions you deliver in Cognix Health become draft entries automatically, with the date, minutes, category, setting, format and supervisor already filled in. You confirm them and add the work that is not on the calendar, such as program writing or graphing.

How does it know whether an hour was restricted or unrestricted?

From the CPT code on the session, mapped through your practice’s own code map, which sits on top of the platform defaults. Codes that genuinely depend on what you did that session — 97151, 97155, 97156 and the like — are drafted at medium confidence so you get the final say, and an unmapped code on a non-billable session falls back to unrestricted.

How are supervised hours separated from independent ones?

When a supervision overlaps one of your sessions, the session is cut at the exact overlap: the part you ran alone becomes an independent entry, and the overlap becomes a supervised one, carrying your supervisor’s name and BACB ID. If they were with the same client, those minutes are counted as observation, and the number of trainees on the supervision decides whether it was individual or group.

Does it support the concentrated pathway?

Yes. Each month is tagged Supervised or Concentrated, and every check uses the right thresholds, including 10% supervision under the 2022 rules or 7.5% under the 2027 rules, and 90 minutes of observation a month for concentrated fieldwork under the 2027 rules.

Which BACB rules does it follow?

The 2022 and the 2027 fieldwork requirements, side by side, because the rule set that applies depends on when you apply for certification rather than when you worked the hours.

Can I add hours I tracked before?

Yes. Enter earlier months one row at a time, with the same numbers you would put on a monthly form, and attach the signed form if you have it. They count toward your total and are measured against your five-year window.

What about the Monthly Fieldwork Verification Form?

Cognix Health assembles each month’s numbers in the order the BACB form uses, collects your signature and your supervisor’s, and stores the signed record for you. It is not the official form: you copy the numbers onto that one, sign it, and keep both for at least seven years. We are working toward generating the official form directly.

What if my supervisor does not use Cognix Health?

Add them on the Supervisors page with their name, email and BACB ID. When you sign a month with them as responsible supervisor, they get a single-use link by email and sign without creating an account. You can resend the link from the month page, and you can upload the signed supervision contract there too.

What happens if I leave my job?

Your records belong to you. You add a personal email and password when you set up, and you keep the account after you leave. Everything stays free for 60 days; continuing to track afterwards needs a personal plan, and you can download all of your records, signed forms included, at no cost at any time.

How much does it cost?

Fieldwork is included at no extra cost for staff at practices that use Cognix Health.

Is Fieldwork affiliated with the BACB?

No. Cognix Health is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. Always confirm the current requirements with the BACB.
