ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California has strong protections for autism therapy coverage. Under California's SB 946, most state-regulated health insurance plans must cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children with autism. Additionally, Medicaid in California (called Medi-Cal) covers ABA services for eligible children - often through managed care plans or fee-for-service. This means many Monterey families can access affordable or fully covered therapy.

The specific details of your plan can vary, so we guide you through each step.
