In California, many private health insurance plans are required to cover ABA therapy for children under 18, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate. Additionally, children enrolled in Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, may qualify for ABA services through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.

If you have Medi-Cal or a private plan, your out-of-pocket costs may be minimal or zero, depending on your specific policy. Our matched providers are experienced in working with a variety of insurance plans and can help navigate coverage details.
