ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California has strong protections for families seeking ABA therapy. Under state law (SB 946), many private insurance plans are required to cover medically necessary autism treatments, including ABA. This means most families in Oakland have coverage for therapy through their employer-provided or individual health plans.

For families enrolled in California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, ABA therapy is also covered for eligible children. Medi-Cal offers comprehensive benefits for autism-related services. Our free matching service works with providers who accept a wide range of insurance plans, including Medi-Cal, so you can find care without worrying about out-of-pocket costs.
