ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

Florida law requires many private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (the Steven A. Geller Autism Coverage Act). This means most commercial plans issued in Florida include benefits for diagnostic evaluation and ABA treatment. Our team can help you verify your specific plan's coverage and out-of-pocket costs before you commit to any provider.

For families covered by Florida Medicaid, ABA therapy is available through the state's Medicaid program, including the Children's Medical Services (CMS) plan and the Statewide Inpatient Psychiatric Program (SIPP). Many providers in our network accept Medicaid, and we can guide you through the process of obtaining prior authorization and finding a provider who works with your specific plan.
