ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under 21. Additionally, the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946, 2011) requires most commercial health plans to cover medically necessary ABA. This means many Shafter families can access therapy with little to no out-of-pocket cost.
