ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois

Illinois requires most private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Public Act 095-1001). This mandate applies to plans regulated by the Illinois Department of Insurance and typically covers up to age 21, including diagnostic assessments, behavioral intervention, and parent training. For families without private insurance, Illinois Medicaid (also called Medical Assistance) covers ABA therapy for eligible children and young adults under the age of 21 through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.\n\nOur free service verifies your specific insurance benefits for ABA therapy in Mechanicsburg, including Medicaid plans, to match you with providers who accept your coverage. We work with a wide network of BCBA-led clinics that accept most major insurers and Illinois Medicaid, so you can focus on your child's progress rather than billing concerns.
