ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California law requires many private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism, thanks to mandates like the California Autism Insurance Law (SB 946). This means your plan may cover diagnostic assessments, therapy sessions, and parent training.

For families with Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program), ABA therapy is also a covered benefit for eligible children. Our team works with providers who accept Medi-Cal and other public programs, ensuring cost is not a barrier to care.
