ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is commonly covered by private health insurance plans thanks to state mandates that require coverage for autism treatment. Many families in Montecito have coverage through employer-sponsored plans, Covered California marketplace plans, or PPOs, and our team can help you verify your benefits. We work with providers that accept most major insurance policies, so you can focus on care rather than paperwork.

For families with Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, ABA services may be covered through specific managed care plans and at designated providers. We can help you navigate the process and connect you with board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) who are credentialed with Medi-Cal. Our goal is to make sure that every Montecito family has access to the support they need, regardless of their insurance situation.
