ABA Insurance & Medicaid Coverage in Georgia

Georgia requires most private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children under 21 diagnosed with autism, per the Georgia Autism Insurance Mandate. This mandate applies to large group plans, and many individual and small group plans also include coverage. Typical benefits include a cap of $35,000 per year for children ages 0-6 and $30,000 per year for ages 7-20, though limits can vary.

Georgia's Medicaid program - PeachState Health Plan or Georgia Families 360° - also covers ABA therapy for enrolled children. Additionally, the Georgia Early Intervention Program (Babies Can't Wait) serves children from birth to age 3. Our team can verify your insurance benefits or help you explore Medicaid eligibility at no cost.

In-Home, Center-Based & Telehealth ABA in Richmond County

Richmond County families have access to a range of ABA service settings. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in a familiar environment, with strategies integrated into daily routines. Center-based programs in Augusta and surrounding areas provide structured social and learning opportunities, often with peer interaction and specialized equipment. Telehealth ABA is also available for certain goals, offering flexibility for families in Hephzibah, Blythe, or other parts of the county.

Our matching service helps you compare providers who offer these settings. We work with clinics that serve Augusta, the Fort Eisenhower area, and throughout Richmond County. Whether you prefer a clinic near Doctors Hospital or in-home support in South Augusta, we help you find a BCBA-led team that fits your schedule and location.

What to Look for in an ABA Provider

When choosing an ABA provider, look for a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) who designs and supervises therapy. The BCBA should conduct a thorough assessment and create a personalized plan with measurable goals. Ask about staff training, parent involvement, and how progress is tracked. Good providers offer clear communication and respect your family's values.

Also consider the provider's experience with your child's age group and specific needs. Some clinics in Richmond County specialize in early intervention (ages 2-6), while others support school-age children and teens. Our free service can help you compare provider qualifications and ask the right questions before you commit.
