ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California's 2011 autism insurance mandate (SB 946) requires most private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children with autism. In addition, California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, provides ABA coverage for eligible children through managed care plans or the fee-for-service system. Many Porterville families use Medi-Cal or plans via Covered California to access these services.

Our team works with major insurers and can confirm ABA benefits with your plan before matching you to a provider. We also help families explore Early Start and regional center programs for children under 3, where ABA may be funded through the state's early intervention system.
