ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

Many Florida health plans cover ABA therapy thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (the Steven A. Geller Autism Coverage Act), which requires large group plans to cover medically necessary ABA for children up to age 18 with annual caps. Individual and small group plans may vary, but we help families navigate their benefits. Our network providers accept a wide range of commercial insurance plans.

Florida's Medicaid program, including the MediKids and Staywell plans for children under 21, typically covers ABA therapy when deemed medically necessary by a physician. Families in Polk County who are enrolled in Florida Medicaid can often access ABA services with little to no out-of-pocket cost. Our team can verify your insurance benefits and connect you with providers who accept your specific plan.
