ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is widely covered by both private insurance and public programs. The state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946) requires many health plans, including those purchased through Covered California, to cover medically necessary ABA for individuals with autism. This means most Santa Rosa families with private insurance can access ABA benefits without needing a separate autism waiver.

For families enrolled in California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, ABA therapy is also covered for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. The regional centers and the state's Early Start program (ages 0-3) may also provide ABA-related services.
