ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Hawaii

Hawaii's Medicaid program, Med-QUEST, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the age of 21 when deemed medically necessary. Additionally, Hawaii's autism insurance mandate (Hawaii Revised Statutes §431:10A-116.5) requires many private health plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This means most families in Hawaii County can access coverage through their insurance.

Our free service helps you verify your specific insurance benefits and match you with providers who accept your plan - including Med-QUEST. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on your child's care.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Hawaii County

Hawaii County offers a range of ABA settings to fit your family's needs. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in a familiar environment, with strategies that carry over into daily life. Center-based programs provide structured settings with peer interaction and access to specialized materials. Telehealth ABA is also available for families in more remote parts of the Big Island, offering live video sessions with a BCBA.

Whether you live in Hilo, Kailua-Kona, or a smaller community like Pahoa or Waimea, our network includes providers who offer flexible options. We match you with clinics that can serve your area and preferred setting.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Hawaii County, look for Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who lead the clinical team. Ask about their experience with your child's age and specific needs, and whether they use evidence-based, person-first practices. A good provider will collaborate with your family, set measurable goals, and regularly review progress.

Also consider logistics: location, hours, and whether they offer parent training. Our matching service pre-screens providers for these qualities, so you can feel confident in your options.
