ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in New York

In New York, ABA therapy is widely covered under commercial health plans thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate. Most major insurers offer benefits for medically necessary ABA, including plans from Empire BlueCross, CDPHP, and others commonly used in the Capital Region. Our team verifies coverage with your specific plan to confirm what's included before you commit.

New York's Medicaid program (NY Medicaid) also covers ABA therapy for eligible individuals, including children under the Early Intervention program (ages 0-3) and through the HCBS waiver for autism. If your child has Medicaid or a managed care plan, we can connect you with providers who accept that coverage. Our matching service takes your insurance details into account so you only see options that work for your budget.
