ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Texas
Texas families have several ways to fund ABA therapy. The state's Medicaid program, STAR Kids, covers ABA for eligible children with autism. Additionally, Texas has an autism insurance mandate that requires many private health plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. This includes large employer plans, small employer plans, and individual plans sold in Texas.
If you have commercial insurance through an employer or the Marketplace, your plan likely covers ABA under the state mandate. For those with Medicaid, STAR Kids offers comprehensive ABA coverage.
