ABA Coverage in South Dakota

In South Dakota, ABA therapy is often covered by private insurance plans that include behavioral health benefits, as well as by South Dakota Medicaid (the state's Medicaid program). Many families find that their plans cover ABA when it is deemed medically necessary and prescribed by a doctor. Our team can help you determine if your specific plan includes ABA coverage and connect you with providers who accept it.

We work with families who have private insurance, Medicaid, or are self-pay. Because we are a free service, we can verify your benefits and match you with providers who are in-network with your plan, saving you time and potential out-of-pocket costs.
