ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in New York

New York law requires many health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. This includes most large-group, small-group, and individual plans regulated by the state. If you have coverage through an employer or the New York State of Health marketplace, ABA is likely covered. We recommend checking with your plan to confirm your specific benefits, including copays and session limits.

For families with Medicaid, New York's Medicaid program (sometimes called eMedNY or NY Medicaid) covers ABA therapy for eligible children. Additionally, the state's Early Intervention Program provides services for children under age 3, and many ABA providers in Lockport accept both Medicaid and private insurance. Our matching team can help verify your coverage and connect you with providers who take your plan.
