ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California law (SB 946) requires most private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism. This includes plans purchased through Covered California and employer-sponsored plans. ABA is a medically necessary treatment, and many plans cover BCBA assessments, one-on-one therapy, and parent training. Our intake team helps verify your specific out-of-pocket costs before you begin.

Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, also covers ABA therapy for eligible children and adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Through Medi-Cal managed care plans, families in Castro can access ABA without the high copays often associated with private insurance. We work with providers who accept both commercial insurance and Medi-Cal to ensure cost is never a barrier to quality care.
