ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois

Illinois law requires many private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Public Act 095-1005). This means most families in Arlington Heights with commercial insurance can access ABA benefits. Additionally, Illinois Medicaid (also known as HealthChoice Illinois in some managed care plans) covers ABA therapy for eligible children, making services more affordable.

When you use our free matching service, we ask about your insurance to connect you with providers who accept your plan. We work with families who have private insurance, Illinois Medicaid, or are self-pay. Our goal is to remove financial barriers and help you find quality ABA care in Arlington Heights without the stress of navigating coverage alone.
