ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Virginia

Virginia law requires most private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism (Virginia's autism insurance mandate, Code of Virginia § 38.2-3418.1). This means many Richmond families can use their employer-sponsored insurance to pay for ABA. Coverage levels vary, so we help you find providers who accept your plan.

Virginia Medicaid also covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. If your child has Medicaid or is enrolled in a Medicaid waiver program, we can connect you with providers who accept it. Our matching service is free regardless of your insurance type.
