This means private insurance often covers medically necessary ABA. Additionally, Medi-Cal (California's Medicaid program) provides coverage for ABA therapy for eligible children. Our free service can help you verify your specific insurance plan's coverage and connect you with providers who accept your plan, easing the financial burden of therapy.
