ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

Florida's Medicaid program covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the age of 21 when deemed medically necessary. Additionally, Florida's autism insurance mandate (the Steven A. Geller Autism Coverage Act) requires many private health plans to cover ABA for children up to age 18. This means most families in Lutz can access coverage through employer-based insurance or individual plans.

Our team at Apply for ABA works with providers who accept Florida Medicaid and a wide range of private insurance plans. We help verify your benefits and connect you with in-network options so you can focus on your child's progress rather than billing concerns.
