ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Texas

Texas has strong protections for autism therapy. Most private health insurance plans regulated by the state are required to cover ABA for children under the age of 9, thanks to the Texas autism insurance mandate (HB 1919). Many plans continue coverage beyond age 9 as well, depending on medical necessity. Commercial insurers like Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare commonly offer ABA benefits.

For families who qualify, Texas Medicaid (STAR and STAR Kids) covers medically necessary ABA therapy for eligible children and adolescents. In addition, Texas's early intervention program (Early Childhood Intervention, or ECI) provides services for children under 3, which can include ABA-type supports. Apply for ABA helps you navigate these options and connects you to providers who accept your specific insurance or Medicaid plan-at no cost to you.
