ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Ohio

Ohio's Medicaid program, Ohio Health Plans, covers ABA therapy for eligible children with an autism diagnosis. Additionally, Ohio law requires many private health insurance plans to cover autism treatments, including ABA, under the state's autism insurance mandate (Ohio Rev. Code § 1751.81). This means most Dayton families can access ABA without paying out-of-pocket.

Our free matching service helps you verify your insurance coverage. When you register, we check if your plan-including Ohio Medicaid or private insurers-covers ABA, and we only connect you with providers who accept your insurance and are in your network.
