Many families also use Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program, which covers medically necessary ABA services for eligible children. Our matching service can help you understand what to ask providers about coverage.

California has strong protections for autism services, so most insurance plans are required to cover medically necessary ABA. However, every plan is different.
