ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Georgia

Georgia's Medicaid program, known as Peach State Health Plan or Amerigroup (depending on your region), covers ABA therapy for eligible children. The state also has a private insurance mandate requiring many plans to cover autism-related treatments, including ABA, for children under 21. This means families in DeKalb County can often access therapy without high out-of-pocket costs.

Our free service helps you navigate these coverage options. When you connect with us, we'll match you with providers who accept your insurance plan, including Medicaid, so you can start therapy with confidence.
