ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

In Florida, ABA therapy is commonly covered by private insurance plans, including those purchased through the federal marketplace and employer-sponsored plans. Florida also has a state autism insurance mandate that requires certain insurance plans to cover ABA for children with an autism diagnosis. We help you understand your coverage and connect you with providers who accept your specific insurance plan.

For families who rely on Medicaid, Florida's Medicaid program, known as Statewide Medicaid Managed Care, covers ABA services for eligible children. We work with providers who are enrolled in Florida Medicaid, so you can be confident that your child's therapy will be covered. Our team can also help you navigate the process of finding a provider who participates in your specific Medicaid plan, whether it is a Managed Care plan or a fee-for-service plan.
