ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Minnesota

ABA therapy is widely covered by private insurance in Minnesota, thanks to state autism insurance mandates that require many health plans to cover medically necessary autism treatments, including ABA. Most major insurers like Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota, Medica, and HealthPartners include ABA benefits. Additionally, Minnesota's Medicaid program, known as Medical Assistance, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under age 21 through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.
