ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in New York

New York's Medicaid program, including the Child Health Plus and the state's mandatory autism coverage under the Affordable Care Act, often covers ABA therapy for eligible children. New York also has a robust autism insurance mandate (Timothy's Law, now part of the state's health insurance laws) that requires many private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA for children under 21.
