ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Missouri

Missouri's Medicaid program, MO HealthNet, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the age of 21 when deemed medically necessary. Many private insurance plans in Missouri also include ABA benefits, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 618, 2010) which requires coverage for diagnostic and treatment services, including ABA, for certain plans.

Our team helps you verify your specific insurance benefits and connects you with providers who accept your plan. We work with families in Carthage to ensure cost is not a barrier to accessing quality ABA therapy.
