ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers medically necessary ABA therapy for eligible children. Additionally, the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946) requires many private health plans to include behavioral health treatments like ABA. This means most families in Ripon can access coverage through private insurance, Medi-Cal, or a combination of both.

Because each plan is different, our matching team can help you identify providers who accept your specific insurance. We also assist families who are new to navigating Medi-Cal or private insurance benefits for ABA. Our goal is to make the process straightforward and free of charge.
