ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California has strong protections for autism treatment. Under the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946, later affirmed by AB 171), most private health plans must cover medically necessary ABA therapy. California's Medicaid program, called Medi-Cal, also covers ABA for eligible children and adults. Many of our partner providers accept both private insurance and Medi-Cal plans.

When you use our free service, we ask about your insurance (or if you are uninsured) and match you with providers who accept your plan. We never charge families anything-our goal is to remove financial barriers and help you access the care your child needs.
