ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California law requires many commercial health plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for autism under the state's insurance mandate (SB 946/AB 171). This means families with private insurance often have robust coverage for assessments, therapy hours, and parent training.

For families with Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program), ABA is covered as an Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Many Lake Elsinore providers accept Medi-Cal, and we can help you find participating BCBA-led teams.
