ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Massachusetts
Massachusetts has a strong autism insurance mandate (Chapter 175, Section 47AA) that requires most private health plans to cover ABA therapy for children with autism. This means your commercial insurance likely includes ABA benefits. Additionally, MassHealth, the state's Medicaid program, covers medically necessary ABA services for eligible children. Our matching team can verify your coverage with the providers we recommend.
