ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is widely covered by private insurance plans under the state's autism mandate (SB 946). This means most commercial policies must provide coverage for medically necessary ABA for children diagnosed with autism. Additionally, California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children through managed care plans or fee-for-service.

When you use our free matching service, we ask about your insurance or Medi-Cal coverage so we can connect you with providers who accept your plan. This helps you avoid surprise costs and ensures you get the most out of your benefits. We do not handle billing directly, but we guide you toward providers who work with your insurance.
