Our service matches you with local providers who are supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and accept insurance or Medicaid.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Iowa

ABA therapy is commonly covered by private insurance plans in Iowa, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate. This law requires many health plans to cover autism spectrum disorder treatments, including ABA, for children up to age 21. We help you verify your specific insurance benefits so you can proceed with confidence.

Iowa Medicaid also covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. If your child has Medicaid or a managed care plan through Iowa Health and Wellness, ABA services may be available.
