ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is widely covered by private insurance plans, thanks to state autism mandates. Many health plans, including those regulated by the California Department of Managed Health Care, are required to cover medically necessary behavioral health treatments for autism, including ABA.

Additionally, California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children. If your child is enrolled in Medi-Cal or a Medi-Cal managed care plan, ABA services are often available with little or no out-of-pocket cost.
