Center-based programs are also available in Fayette County, providing a structured environment with peers and supervised by a clinical team.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Kentucky
Kentucky law requires most private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children under 21 diagnosed with autism (KRS 304.17A-144). This means many Lexington families can use their commercial insurance to access ABA. Coverage details, such as session limits and authorization steps, vary by plan, but we help you understand what your insurance may offer.
For families with Kentucky Medicaid (including the MCOs like Passport Health Plan, WellCare, and Anthem), ABA therapy is a covered benefit for eligible children and teens. We work with Medicaid-enrolled providers in Fayette County to ensure you can use this coverage. If you are unsure about your benefits, our team can assist with insurance verification at no cost.
