ABA coverage in New Jersey

New Jersey law requires many private health insurance plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. This includes plans regulated by the state, such as those offered through employers and the individual market. Coverage typically applies to children up to age 21, though specifics vary by plan.

For families with Medicaid, New Jersey's Medicaid program (NJ FamilyCare) covers ABA therapy for eligible children. The state also offers early intervention services through the New Jersey Early Intervention System (NJEIS), which may include ABA for children under three. Our matching service can help you find providers who accept your specific insurance, including NJ FamilyCare.
