ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Maryland
In Maryland, ABA therapy is widely covered by both private insurance and Medicaid. Maryland's Medicaid program, known as Medical Assistance, typically covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Additionally, the state's Autism Insurance Act (passed in 2010) requires most private health plans to cover ABA for children up to age 21, with certain limits on annual visits or dollar amounts.
You may also qualify for waivers such as the Autism Waiver through the Maryland Department of Health, which provides additional support for eligible families. Our team can help you understand your coverage options and match you with providers who accept your plan.

What to look for in an ABA provider
When selecting an ABA provider in Baltimore County, look for a team led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs and oversees all programs. Ensure the provider uses data-driven, evidence-based methods and offers parent training as part of the plan. It's also important that they respect your child's neurodiversity and focus on building meaningful skills, not just compliance.
Ask about their experience with your child's specific needs-whether that's early intervention, school readiness, or social skills. A good provider will collaborate with your family and any other therapists (speech, OT) your child may see.
