ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in North Carolina

ABA therapy is widely covered by insurance in North Carolina. Most private plans, including those purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace, must cover medically necessary ABA for children diagnosed with autism under the state's autism insurance mandate (Session Law 2015-251). Many employer-sponsored plans also provide coverage up to age 18 or beyond.

North Carolina's Medicaid program (NC Medicaid) covers ABA therapy for eligible children. If your child is enrolled in Medicaid or a Medicaid managed care plan, several local ABA providers accept this coverage.
