ABA Coverage in California

California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers medically necessary ABA therapy for children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. For children enrolled in Medi-Cal managed care plans, ABA is typically included in the plan's benefits. Additionally, California requires most state-regulated private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism under laws like SB 946. Coverage specifics may vary by plan, so it's important to verify with your insurer.
