ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California has strong protections for autism therapy coverage. Under the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946 and later updates), most group health plans must cover ABA therapy for children and young adults with autism. This includes services like assessment, direct therapy, and parent training.

Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, also covers ABA therapy for eligible individuals. Many families in Upland use either private insurance or Medi-Cal to access free or low-cost ABA. When you use our matching service, we help you find providers that accept your specific plan-including Medi-Cal and major insurers-so you can focus on your child's progress.
