ABA therapy is widely covered by insurance in Florida, thanks in part to the state's autism insurance mandate, the Steven A. Geller Autism Coverage Act. This law requires many private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA for children with autism. Additionally, Florida Medicaid covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.

Our matching service verifies each provider's accepted insurances, including Florida Medicaid and major commercial plans.
