ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, covers medically necessary ABA therapy for eligible children. Additionally, California's autism insurance mandate (SB 946) requires most private health plans to cover ABA for children diagnosed with autism. This means many families in Carmel can access therapy with little to no out-of-pocket cost.

Our free matching service can help you verify your insurance benefits and find providers who accept your plan, including Medi-Cal. We guide you through the process so you can focus on what matters most-supporting your child's development.
