ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Massachusetts

Massachusetts requires most private health insurance plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for autism, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Chapter 233 of the Acts of 2008). This means families in Cambridge often have coverage through plans like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, or Tufts.

For those with MassHealth (Massachusetts's Medicaid program), ABA is also covered for eligible children under age 21. Our matching team can help you verify your specific plan's benefits and connect you with providers who accept your insurance, including MassHealth.
