ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

Florida's Medicaid program, known as Stay Well (managed care plans) and the state's fee-for-service system, typically covers ABA therapy for eligible children with an autism diagnosis. Additionally, Florida has a commercial insurance mandate (the 'Steven A. Geller Autism Coverage Act') that requires many employer-sponsored plans to cover autism treatments, including ABA, up to certain limits.

We can help you understand your coverage, whether you have private insurance, Florida Medicaid, or a plan through the Children's Medical Services network. Our service screens providers that accept your insurance to minimize out-of-pocket costs.
