ABA Insurance & Medicaid Coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is covered under many private insurance plans thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946 and subsequent laws). This means that most health insurance policies issued in California must provide coverage for behavioral health treatments, including ABA, for individuals with autism. Additionally, California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children and adults.

When you use our free service, we ask about your insurance or Medi-Cal plan so we can match you with providers who accept your specific coverage. Our network includes providers experienced with navigating California insurance requirements, helping reduce out-of-pocket costs for Laguna Beach families.
