ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Maryland

ABA therapy is widely covered by commercial insurance plans in Maryland, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (HB 1269, passed in 2010). This law requires many private insurers to cover medically necessary ABA services for children diagnosed with autism. In addition, Maryland's Medicaid program, known as Medical Assistance, covers ABA therapy for eligible children and young people.

Our matching team can verify your specific plan's benefits, including in-network and out-of-network options. We work with providers who accept a broad range of insurance, including Maryland Medicaid. There is no cost to you for our matching service-we help you navigate coverage so you can focus on your child's progress.
