ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California law (SB 946) requires most private health insurance plans to cover behavioral health treatments for autism, including ABA therapy. This mandate ensures that many Goleta families can use their insurance benefits to access care. Additionally, California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible beneficiaries, reducing out-of-pocket costs.

Because coverage details can vary by plan, our team helps verify your insurance benefits before connecting you with a provider. We work with families insured through employer-sponsored plans, Covered California, and Medi-Cal to ensure you understand what services are available in Goleta and across Santa Barbara County.
