ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California law requires many private health plans to cover ABA therapy for autism, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946). This means most families with private insurance can access ABA benefits. Additionally, California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.
