ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

In Florida, ABA therapy is considered an essential medical service for autism. Florida's Medicaid program covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children under age 21 through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. For families with private insurance, Florida's autism insurance mandate requires many large-group health plans to cover ABA treatment-often with limits on age or annual spending.

Because coverage details differ, our free matching service works with families to identify providers who accept your specific plan or Florida Medicaid. We help you navigate options so that cost is not a barrier to getting your child the support they need in Clearwater.
