ABA Insurance & Medicaid Coverage in California
California law (SB 946, now part of the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act) requires most private health plans to cover ABA therapy for autism. This mandate applies to plans regulated by the state, including many employer-based and individual plans. Additionally, California's Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the age of 21 through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.
For families with private insurance, coverage details vary by plan, but the mandate ensures that ABA is not excluded as a medically necessary treatment.
