ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Maryland

Maryland families have strong protections for autism therapy coverage. Private insurance plans regulated by the state are required to cover ABA therapy under Maryland's autism insurance mandate (often referred to as Vince's Law). This means many Gaithersburg families can use their employer-based insurance to pay for ABA services with minimal out-of-pocket costs.

For those without private insurance, Maryland's Medicaid program (Medical Assistance) also covers ABA therapy for eligible children. The state's Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit ensures comprehensive coverage. Our matching team verifies insurance and Medicaid acceptance with each provider, so you know your benefits will work before you start.
