This mandate helps Highland families access medically necessary treatment without high out-of-pocket costs. Our team can help you verify your specific plan's benefits as part of the free matching process.

Maryland's Medicaid program, known as Medical Assistance, also covers ABA therapy for eligible children. If your family has Medicaid or a Medicaid managed care plan, you may qualify for coverage.
