ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Missouri

Missouri's Medicaid program, MO HealthNet, covers ABA therapy for eligible children with an autism diagnosis. Additionally, Missouri's autism insurance mandate (SB 618) requires many private insurance plans to cover ABA for children up to age 18, often with annual limits. This means families in Harrisburg frequently use their insurance benefits for ABA.

Our matching team can help you understand your specific plan's coverage and find providers who accept your insurance or Medicaid. We work with BCBA-led providers that are experienced with Missouri's insurance landscape.
