ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

Good news: ABA therapy is covered by most major insurance plans in Florida, including employer-sponsored plans and individual policies. Florida's Medicaid program (Florida Medicaid) covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Additionally, Florida law (the autism insurance mandate, often called 'Steven's Law' or HB 1217) requires many private insurers to cover ABA therapy for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder-up to age 18 or beyond in some plans.

When you use our free service, we help pre-screen providers who accept your specific insurance, including Florida Medicaid and commercial plans.
