ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in New York

New York State requires most private health insurance plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This mandate means many Buffalo families can use their in-network benefits to access care. Additionally, NYS Medicaid covers ABA as an essential health benefit for eligible children.

For younger children under age three, New York's Early Intervention Program may also fund ABA services. Our free matching service works with providers who accept a range of insurance plans and can help you verify your coverage. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to confirm specific benefits and any required pre-authorization.
