ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California has strong protections for autism therapy. Most commercial health plans regulated by the state must cover ABA under the California Autism Health Insurance Mandate (SB 946), which took effect in 2012. This means that many private insurance policies will help pay for BCBA‑supervised ABA services for children diagnosed with autism.

For families with limited or no private insurance, California's Medicaid program-called Medi‑Cal-also covers ABA therapy for eligible children. Our free service can help you find providers who accept both commercial insurance and Medi‑Cal in Foster City and San Mateo County, reducing financial barriers to care.
