ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Ohio

In Ohio, ABA therapy is often covered by private insurance plans, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Ohio Revised Code 3923.83). This law requires many group health plans to cover autism-related treatments, including ABA, for children under age 16. Additionally, Ohio's Medicaid program (Ohio Department of Medicaid) covers ABA therapy for eligible children through managed care plans like Buckeye Health Plan, CareSource, and Molina Healthcare.

We also assist families with Ohio Medicaid coverage, including those enrolled in the Ohio Home Care Waiver or the Autism Scholarship Program. Our goal is to remove financial barriers so your child can start therapy as soon as possible.
