ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California law requires many private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946). This means most Foster City families with commercial insurance can access ABA benefits. Additionally, California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.

Our team helps verify your insurance or Medi-Cal coverage before matching you with a provider. We also assist families who are new to navigating insurance benefits, ensuring you understand your options and can start therapy without unexpected costs.
