ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

In California, private health insurance plans are generally required to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for autism under the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946 and subsequent laws). This means many Encinitas families can access ABA through their employer-based or individual plan. Always check your specific policy for coverage details and any deductible or copay requirements.

Additionally, California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible individuals. Children and adults with an autism diagnosis may qualify for these services. Our free service can help you find providers who accept your insurance or Medi-Cal, simplifying the process of getting started.
