ABA Therapy in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, ABA therapy is widely covered by both private insurance and Medicaid (Medical Assistance). The state's autism insurance mandate (Act 62 of 2008) requires many private health plans to cover ABA for children under 21. Additionally, Pennsylvania's Early Intervention program provides ABA services for eligible children from birth to age 3.

For families with Medical Assistance, ABA is covered as a medically necessary service. Our free matching service helps you find providers who accept your specific insurance plan, including Pennsylvania's Medicaid managed care organizations. We can also guide you on how to verify coverage before starting therapy.

Lehigh County families have access to a variety of ABA delivery models.

It's also important to confirm that the provider is licensed in Pennsylvania and accepts your insurance. Our free service vets providers for these qualifications, so you can feel confident in your match.
