ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California law requires many health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946). This means most private insurers, including PPOs and HMOs, typically include ABA benefits. Additionally, California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.

Our matching service can help verify your specific insurance coverage with local providers. We work with families who have private insurance, Medi-Cal, or other plans. Simply share your details, and we will connect you with Santa Ana providers who accept your coverage, so you can focus on your child's progress without worrying about costs.
