Frequently asked questions

Does Texas Medicaid cover ABA therapy?

Coverage requires a physician's prescription and a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Our free service can help you find providers who accept Medicaid in your area.

Is ABA coverage required by insurance in Texas?

Texas state law requires large group health plans (those with more than 50 employees) to offer coverage for autism-related treatments, including ABA therapy.
