ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Massachusetts

Massachusetts requires most private health plans to cover ABA therapy for autism, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Chapter 233 of the Acts of 2014). MassHealth, the state's Medicaid program, also covers ABA for eligible children under 21 when medically necessary.

Our matching service works with providers who accept a wide range of insurance plans, including MassHealth and commercial insurers. We help you find options that fit your coverage, so you can focus on your child's progress.
