ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California
California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under 21 through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Additionally, California's autism insurance mandate (SB 946) requires most private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA for members with autism-meaning families in Sonoma County often have coverage through employer plans or Covered California.
Whether you have private insurance, Medi-Cal, or a combination, we help match you with providers near you.
