ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, ABA therapy is widely covered by both private insurance and the state's Medicaid program, known as Medical Assistance. Pennsylvania's autism insurance mandate (Act 62) requires many commercial health plans to cover autism-related services, including ABA, for children up to age 21. This means most Erie families with private insurance can access coverage for diagnostic evaluations and ongoing therapy.

For families enrolled in Pennsylvania's Medical Assistance, ABA therapy is a covered benefit for eligible children. Our team can help you verify your specific plan's coverage and connect you with Erie-area providers who accept your insurance. We handle the legwork so you don't have to-just provide your insurance information, and we'll find providers in Erie County who take it.
