ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is widely covered by both private insurance and public programs. California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, includes ABA coverage for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Many families in Costa Mesa use Medi-Cal managed care plans to access services.

Additionally, California's autism insurance mandate (SB 946) requires most commercial health plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children under age 21. This means that if you have a private insurance plan through an employer or Covered California, ABA is likely covered.
