ABA coverage in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's Medicaid program, known as Medical Assistance (MA), covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Additionally, many private health insurance plans in the state are required to provide coverage for autism-related services, including ABA, under Pennsylvania's Autism Insurance Act (Act 62). This law mandates that certain large group plans cover behavioral health treatments for autism, though specifics can vary by plan.

It's important to note that coverage details depend on your specific insurance policy, including deductibles, copays, and network restrictions. However, many of our partner providers work with a wide range of insurers and can help verify your benefits before services begin. If you're unsure about your plan, ABA For My Child can connect you with providers who accept your insurance, including Pennsylvania Medicaid.

Yes, Pennsylvania's Medical Assistance (Medicaid) program covers ABA therapy for children under age 21 when deemed medically necessary. Services must be provided by a qualified BCBA or supervised staff, and prior authorization is typically required.

Is ABA coverage required by insurance in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania's Act 62 requires many large employer-sponsored health plans to cover autism-related services, including ABA, for children up to age 21. However, not all plans are subject to this law, so it's best to check your specific policy or let our team help you verify coverage.
