ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

In Florida, ABA therapy is widely covered by private insurance plans, including those purchased through the Affordable Care Act marketplace. Florida's Medicaid program, known as Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC), also covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children under 21. Many plans require a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and a prescription from a doctor.

Florida law mandates that certain insurance plans cover autism therapies, including ABA, up to a specified annual limit.
