ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children with autism. Additionally, California's autism insurance mandate (SB 946) requires most private health plans to cover behavioral health treatments, including ABA, for individuals up to age 21. This means many San Leandro families can access ABA therapy through their existing health insurance or through Medi-Cal.
