ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children and adults with autism. In addition, California's autism insurance mandate (SB 946) requires many private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA services. This means most families in Riverside can use their insurance to help pay for therapy.

Our matching team will ask about your insurance provider and plan type. We then connect you with ABA providers who are in-network with your plan or can help you navigate out-of-network benefits. We also assist families who have no insurance or who are seeking sliding-scale options.
