ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

In Florida, ABA therapy is widely covered by private insurance plans, including those purchased through the Affordable Care Act marketplace. Florida's Medicaid program, known as Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC), also covers ABA therapy for eligible children under age 21 when deemed medically necessary. The state's autism insurance mandate (Florida's autism mandate, part of the Florida Insurance Code) requires many group health plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

Our free matching service works with providers who accept a broad range of insurance plans, including Florida Medicaid and commercial carriers. When you contact us, we'll ask about your insurance so we can match you with providers who accept your specific plan-no need to call around yourself.
