ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California
In California, ABA therapy is covered by most private health insurance plans thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946).

For families with Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program), ABA is covered under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.
