ABA coverage in Texas

Texas law mandates that large group health plans cover ABA therapy for autism, and many private insurers follow state guidelines. Texas Medicaid, including the STAR Kids program, also covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children up to age 21. Coverage details can vary by plan, but our free service helps you navigate insurance options and find providers who participate in your network. We do not provide medical advice, but our team can clarify what information to have ready when you call your insurer.

Frequently asked questions

Does Texas Medicaid cover ABA therapy?

Yes, Texas Medicaid (including the STAR Kids managed care program) covers ABA therapy for eligible children and young adults with autism up to age 21. Coverage requires a physician's prescription and a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Our free service can help you find providers who accept Medicaid in your area.

Is ABA coverage required by insurance in Texas?

Texas state law requires large group health plans (those with more than 50 employees) to offer coverage for autism-related treatments, including ABA therapy. However, not all individual or small-group plans are mandated to cover it. We recommend checking your specific policy, and our service can help you identify providers that work with your insurance.

Using our free matching service is the easiest way.
