ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois

Illinois law requires many private insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism spectrum disorder through the state's autism insurance mandate (Public Act 095-1006). This means that most families with private insurance in Highland Park can receive coverage for diagnosed autism. Plans vary, so we help you check coverage as part of our free matching process.

For families without private insurance, Illinois Medicaid (known as Medical Assistance) often covers ABA therapy, especially for children who qualify under Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers. Our team can verify your benefits and connect you with providers who accept Illinois Medicaid in the Highland Park area.
