ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in New York

In New York, ABA therapy is covered by most commercial insurance plans thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate, which requires insurers to cover behavioral health treatments like applied behavior analysis.

Coverage details can vary, so our team helps verify benefits at no cost to you.

If you have Child Health Plus or the state's Early Intervention Program, ABA may also be available depending on your child's needs and age.
