ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Ohio

In Ohio, ABA therapy is often covered by both private insurance and Ohio's Medicaid program. Ohio's Autism Insurance Mandate requires many group health plans to cover autism-related treatments, including ABA, for children. For families with Ohio Medicaid (including the OhioRISE program), ABA can be covered when deemed medically necessary.

We work with providers who accept a wide range of insurance plans and Ohio Medicaid. When you contact us, we'll help match you with a provider that takes your specific insurance - so you don't have to navigate the paperwork alone.
