ABA Services · Insurance & Requirements

Understanding ABA Insurance Coverage.

Insurance can be one of the most confusing parts of beginning ABA therapy. Our team helps families understand what documentation may be required, verify benefits, and navigate the authorization process.

Eligibility

Who May Qualify?

Insurance-funded ABA services generally require an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis, supporting diagnostic documentation, and documentation that ABA is medically necessary. Specific eligibility, documentation, and authorization requirements vary by insurance plan.

  • Autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and supporting documentation

  • A doctor's order documenting medical necessity

  • Plan-specific authorization requirements

Chasing Your Dreams ABA does not diagnose autism. If additional diagnostic or medical documentation is required, we’ll explain what is missing so you can work with the appropriate provider.

Coverage

Insurance We Work With

  • Medicaid

  • Commercial Insurance

Chasing Your Dreams ABA works with Medicaid and a number of commercial insurance plans. Because network participation, benefits, eligibility, and authorization requirements can change, please contact CYD to verify your specific insurance plan before beginning services.

The Process

What to Expect

  1. An autism diagnosis and psychological evaluation

  2. An order for ABA from the learner's doctor

  3. Prior authorization for an ABA assessment

  4. Completion of the assessment

  5. Development of an individualized treatment plan

  6. Authorization for ongoing ABA services

Our team helps families navigate these steps and understand what information is needed along the way.

Important Insurance Information

Insurance eligibility and benefits are verified individually. Verification of benefits does not guarantee coverage or authorization for services.
