ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is widely covered by both private insurance and Medi-Cal (the state's Medicaid program). California's autism insurance mandate (SB 946) requires many private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA for children with autism. This means most families in Berkeley can access coverage.

If you have Medi-Cal, ABA services are also available through the state's managed care plans. Our free service can help you verify coverage and connect with providers who accept your insurance, including Medi-Cal.
