ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Massachusetts

Massachusetts families often have strong coverage for ABA therapy thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (ARICA). Most private health plans, including those offered through employers and the Health Connector, are required to cover medically necessary ABA for children diagnosed with autism. Your plan may cover up to a certain number of hours per year with no annual dollar cap.

MassHealth, Massachusetts's Medicaid program, also covers ABA therapy for eligible children. MassHealth members can access ABA through the state's Autism Waiver or through their managed care plans.
