ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Texas

Texas Medicaid (also known as STAR and STAR Kids) covers medically necessary ABA therapy for children with autism. Many commercial insurance plans in Texas are required to include autism benefits due to the state's mandated coverage for children under 10. Our network includes providers who accept both private insurance and Medicaid, so you can choose what works best for your family.

If your child is under three, Texas's Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) program may also offer support and referrals. The Texas Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) provides additional coverage options for qualifying families. We can help you navigate these options and connect with providers who take your specific plan.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Cameron County, look for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises sessions and develops individualized treatment plans.

They should also be transparent about their approach, whether it's discrete trial training, natural environment teaching, or a blend of methods.
