Smaller plans and individual policies may vary, so it's important to check your specific benefits.

For families with Florida Medicaid, ABA therapy is often covered for children under 21 through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Some children may also access services through Florida's Early Steps program for infants and toddlers. Our team can help you understand which plans your matched providers accept.
