Introduction
Insurance coverage is one of the first questions families ask when exploring ABA therapy. The good news: Florida law requires most commercial health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children with autism.
Florida’s ABA Mandate
Under Florida Statute 627.6686, commercial health insurance plans must provide coverage for diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder, including ABA therapy, for individuals up to age 21.
Which Plans Cover ABA?
- Medicaid (Florida): Florida Medicaid covers ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis.
- Commercial Plans: Major carriers including Aetna, Cigna, BCBS of Florida, UnitedHealthcare, and Humana generally cover ABA therapy subject to medical necessity determination and prior authorization.
- Marketplace Plans: ACA marketplace plans sold in Florida are required to cover ABA as an essential health benefit for children.
