ABA Insurance & Medicaid Coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is covered by most major insurance plans and by Medi‑Cal (California's Medicaid program). The state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946 and subsequent updates) requires many private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA for children with autism. For younger children (under 3), Early Start through the regional center system may also provide ABA or similar services.

We can also assist families who rely on Medi‑Cal, ensuring they find BCBA-led providers that accept this coverage.
