ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

ABA therapy is widely covered by private insurance in Florida, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (the Steven A. Geller Autism Coverage Act). This law requires many commercial health plans to cover medically necessary ABA for children diagnosed with autism. In most cases, you will have minimal or no out-of-pocket costs.

Florida's Medicaid program also covers ABA for eligible children. Our free matching team works with providers who accept both private insurance and Florida Medicaid, helping Sarasota-area families access the financial assistance they need.
