ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California
California law requires many private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946). This means families in Tehachapi with PPO or HMO plans often have coverage for diagnostic assessments, therapy hours, and parent training. We can help verify your specific benefits at no cost.
For families with Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program), ABA therapy is also a covered benefit for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Many providers in Kern County accept Medi-Cal managed care plans, and our team can match you with those who do. We'll guide you through the process from verification to scheduling.
