ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Many private insurance plans in California also cover ABA, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946), which requires health plans to provide coverage for autism-related services, including ABA.

Our free service helps you verify coverage with your specific plan and connects you to providers who accept Medi-Cal or your private insurance. We work with families across Sacramento County to ensure insurance is not a barrier to starting therapy.
