ABA Therapy in Durham County, North Carolina

In North Carolina, ABA therapy is often covered by private insurance plans, including those regulated by the state's autism insurance mandate. This mandate requires many health plans to cover autism-related services, including ABA, for children up to age 18. Additionally, North Carolina's Medicaid program, known as NC Medicaid, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit.

For families in Durham County, this means that many local providers accept both private insurance and NC Medicaid. Our free matching service can help you find providers who work with your specific plan, ensuring you can access the care your child needs without financial barriers.
