ABA therapy is covered by most insurance plans under state autism mandates. Coverage requires an autism diagnosis and a treatment plan from the BCBA. Prior authorization and periodic reauthorization (every 3 to 6 months) are standard. Some plans have hour caps (e.g., 25 hours per week), age limits, or dollar caps, though many states have eliminated these. Medicaid covers ABA in all states under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit for children. If your plan denies or limits hours, ask the BCBA to write a letter of medical necessity with supporting data.
