ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

ABA therapy is widely covered by commercial insurance plans in Florida, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Florida Statute 627.6686 and 641.31098).

If your child qualifies for Florida Medicaid (administered by the Agency for Health Care Administration), your out-of-pocket costs may be very low.
