ABA coverage in California

California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for children under 21 through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. In addition, California's autism insurance mandate (SB 946) requires most private health plans to cover ABA for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

This means families in California often have strong insurance coverage for ABA therapy. Local ABA Therapy helps you understand your benefits and match you with providers that accept your plan, including Medi-Cal managed care plans.
