ABA coverage in Massachusetts

MassHealth, Massachusetts' Medicaid program, covers ABA therapy for children under 21 with an autism diagnosis. Services must be deemed medically necessary and are typically provided by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and supervised Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs).

Most private health insurance plans regulated by Massachusetts are required to cover ABA therapy under the state's autism insurance mandate (Chapter 233 of the Acts of 2008). This includes plans purchased on the Health Connector and employer-sponsored group plans. Deductibles, copays, and session limits may apply, so checking your specific policy is recommended.
