Will my insurance cover ABA therapy?

The type and amount of insurance coverage your child can receive is determined by your individual insurance plan, as well as your child’s needs. Generally, state funded insurance plans must comply with all state laws regarding ABA therapy for qualifying individuals. Self-funded or federal insurance plans are not required to follow state law, as they are regulated by federal laws. All 50 states currently have laws in place requiring some level of coverage for individuals with an autism diagnosis; however, the amount of coverage can vary by state. In most states, Medicaid also covers ABA services for individuals under the age of 21, when ABA treatment is deemed to be medically necessary by their physician.
