ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Missouri

Missouri families can often use private insurance, employer plans, or MO HealthNet (the state's Medicaid program) to cover ABA therapy. Under Missouri's autism insurance mandate (SB 618), many commercial plans are required to provide coverage for autism-related services, including ABA, with no annual dollar caps. We help you navigate these options.

For children under three, Missouri's First Steps early intervention program may also cover ABA. Our matching specialists can verify your benefits with your specific plan - including MO HealthNet - and connect you with providers who accept your coverage. There is never a fee for using our service.
