ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Ohio

In Ohio, ABA therapy is widely covered by private insurance plans, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate. This law requires many insurers to cover diagnosis and treatment, including ABA, for children with autism spectrum disorder. We recommend checking your specific plan details, but we can help you verify coverage as part of our free matching process.

Ohio Medicaid also covers ABA therapy for eligible children. The Ohio Department of Medicaid recognizes ABA as a medically necessary service, and providers in our network accept Medicaid coverage. Whether you have commercial insurance or a Medicaid plan, we will work to connect you with providers who accept your specific coverage.
