ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Ohio
In Ohio, ABA therapy is widely covered by private insurance plans, including those through employers and the state's health insurance marketplace. Ohio's Autism Health Insurance Mandate requires many group health plans to cover autism-related treatments, including ABA, for children up to age 21. This means most Akron families with private insurance can access coverage for diagnostic evaluations and ongoing therapy.
Ohio Medicaid, administered by the Ohio Department of Medicaid, also covers ABA therapy for eligible children under 21. The OhioRISE program (Resilience through Integrated Systems and Excellence) provides coordinated care for youth with complex behavioral health needs, including autism.
