ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California is a leader in autism coverage. Under state law (SB 946), most private health insurance plans must cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children with autism.

This means that many Petaluma families can access ABA at little to no out-of-pocket cost.
