ABA Therapy in Union County, North Carolina

In North Carolina, ABA therapy is often covered by private insurance plans, including those regulated by the state's autism insurance mandate. This mandate requires many health plans to cover diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder, including ABA, for children up to age 18. Always check with your specific plan to confirm coverage details.

North Carolina Medicaid (NC Medicaid) also provides coverage for ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Families in Union County can use Medicaid to access ABA services through approved providers.
