ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

ABA therapy is widely covered by insurance in California, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946). This law requires most private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA for children with autism. Many families in Foster City use their commercial insurance to access care with little to no out-of-pocket cost.

For families covered by California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, ABA therapy is also a covered benefit. If you have a Medi-Cal managed care plan, your child may be eligible for ABA services. Our matching service can verify your insurance benefits and connect you with providers who accept both private insurance and Medi-Cal in Foster City.
