ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California
California law requires many private health plans to cover ABA therapy for autism (SB 946), so most PPO and HMO plans include behavioral health benefits. We help you verify coverage with your specific insurer before connecting you to a provider.
California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, also covers ABA therapy for eligible children. Many San Diego providers accept Medi-Cal plans like Anthem Blue Cross, Health Net, or Kaiser. Our team explains your options and matches you to providers who accept your coverage.

Yes, most private insurance plans in California cover ABA therapy under the state's autism mandate (SB 946/Health & Safety Code 1374.73). Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid) also covers ABA for eligible children. Our free service helps you verify your specific plan and matches you with providers that accept it.
How does your free matching service work?
You complete a short intake form with your child's needs, location, and insurance info. We then match you with BCBA-led providers in San Diego who meet your criteria. Providers contact you directly to schedule a consultation. There is no cost to you - we are paid by the providers.
What ages do ABA providers near San Diego serve?
Most San Diego ABA providers serve children from 18 months through 18 years old. Some specialize in early intervention (ages 2-6), while others support teens and young adults. During matching, we ask about your child's age to connect you with an appropriate provider.
How soon can my child start ABA therapy in San Diego?
Timelines vary by provider and availability. Once you accept a match, many providers can begin assessments within 1-3 weeks. Our service streamlines the process so you can start sooner rather than waiting on long search times.
