ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in New York

New York's autism insurance mandate requires most private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. This includes many plans offered through employers and the individual marketplace. Additionally, New York State Medicaid (NY Medicaid) covers ABA services for eligible children under the age of 21 who have a medical need.\n\nFor very young children, New York's Early Intervention Program (for ages 0-3) can also cover ABA as part of a comprehensive plan. Our free matching service helps you verify which coverage applies to your child and connects you with providers who accept your plan.
