ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Michigan

In Michigan, ABA therapy is widely covered by private insurance plans, including those obtained through employers or the Health Insurance Marketplace. Michigan's Autism Insurance Mandate (Public Act 125 of 2012) requires many group health plans to cover autism-related treatments, including ABA, for children up to age 18. We help you verify your specific plan's benefits and connect you with providers who accept your insurance.

Michigan Medicaid (Healthy Michigan Plan and MIChild) also covers ABA therapy for eligible children under 21 when deemed medically necessary.
