BCBA (Part-Time, 1099) — Active Maryland LBA Required | $92–$105/hr | Hybrid, Columbia MD

We handle credentialing, scheduling, and admin. You handle clinical.

Lucentra Care is a small, founder-led ABA practice in Columbia, MD. We're hiring a Maryland-licensed BCBA to supervise 1–3 home-based pediatric cases, 10–15 hours per week. This role is designed for a BCBA who already has a primary position and wants well-organized supplemental work — without director responsibilities, caseload pressure, or admin overhead.

Why this role is different

• We're already credentialed with Maryland Medicaid (Carelon) and major commercial payers. We can add you to rosters in 1–3 weeks, not 5–7 months.
• Clinical leadership is in-house (active Maryland LBA, BCBA) and handles intake, family communication, and treatment-plan oversight. You're not the clinician of record for the practice — you're the supervisor of record for your assigned cases.
• Initial caseload capped at 1–3 clients. We will not overload you. Hours grow only if you want them to.
• No director, committee, or compliance work. No corporate layers. No PE timelines.
