ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois

Illinois families benefit from strong insurance protections-the state's autism insurance mandate (Public Act 95-1003) requires many private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children under 21, up to specified limits. This means most commercial insurance policies must include ABA benefits. Our matching service works with providers who accept a wide range of plans, so you can use your coverage to reduce out-of-pocket costs.

For families with Medicaid, Illinois Medical Assistance (the state's Medicaid program) also covers ABA therapy for eligible children and young adults. Additionally, some providers accept the Illinois Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waivers. We help you navigate these options and connect you with BCBA-led providers who accept your specific insurance or Medicaid plan.
