ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California
In California, ABA therapy is widely covered by private insurance under the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946), which requires most health plans to cover medically necessary behavioral health treatments for autism. This includes many PPO and HMO plans in Orange County.
For families without private insurance, California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children with an autism diagnosis. Many of our partner providers in Orange County accept both private insurance and Medi-Cal, helping reduce out-of-pocket costs.
In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Orange County
Our network includes providers offering ABA therapy in multiple settings to fit your family's needs. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in a familiar environment, while center-based programs offer structured social opportunities and access to specialized equipment. Many providers also offer telehealth sessions for parent training or direct therapy when appropriate.
Whether you live near Anaheim, Irvine, or Santa Ana, we can match you with providers that deliver services at home, in a clinic, or through a hybrid model. Each provider is BCBA-led and designed to meet your child's unique goals.
