ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

In California, ABA therapy is commonly covered by private health insurance plans, thanks to the state's autism mandate (SB 946). This law requires many commercial insurers to cover medically necessary ABA for children with autism. If you have private insurance, we can help you understand your benefits and find a provider who is in-network.

For families with Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program), ABA services are also available. Many ABA providers in Kern County accept Medi-Cal, and some offer services through regional centers or school districts.
