ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Texas

ABA therapy is widely covered by commercial insurance plans in Texas, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (enacted in 2007 under SB 219). This law requires many employer-sponsored plans to cover medically necessary ABA for children under 18. Texas Medicaid (including STAR and STAR Kids) also covers ABA therapy for eligible children, making services more accessible for Portland families.

Our team can help you verify your specific plan's benefits and connect you with providers who accept your insurance or Medicaid. We'll guide you through the process so you can focus on your child's progress, not paperwork.
