ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is commonly covered by commercial insurance plans under the state's autism insurance mandate, which requires many plans to cover medically necessary behavioral health treatments. This means your private insurance may cover ABA services for children with an autism diagnosis. We can help you verify your specific benefits and connect with providers who are in-network.

For families with Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, ABA services are also covered as part of the state's behavioral health benefits. Many of our vetted providers accept Medi-Cal, and we can help you find one that does. We'll guide you through the process, including any referrals or pre-authorizations your plan may require.
