ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is often covered by private health insurance plans, especially those regulated by the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946). This law requires many group health plans to cover behavioral health treatments, including ABA, for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. Additionally, Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, covers ABA therapy for eligible children and adults, typically through managed care plans.

We help you navigate these options. When you use our free matching service, we consider your specific insurance or Medi-Cal plan to connect you with providers who are in-network or experienced with your coverage. This can save you time and reduce the stress of verifying benefits on your own.
