ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Massachusetts

Massachusetts is one of the most supportive states for autism coverage. Under the state's autism insurance mandate (ARICA), most private health plans are required to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This includes plans purchased through the Massachusetts Health Connector as well as employer-sponsored insurance. Our team can help you understand your policy's benefits, including copays, deductibles, and annual visit limits, so there are no surprises.

For families with MassHealth (Massachusetts' Medicaid program), ABA therapy is also covered as an early and periodic screening, diagnostic, and treatment service. This includes children under 21 who qualify. Many Norwell-area providers are MassHealth-approved, and our free matching service can filter for those who accept your specific insurance. We'll also connect you with resources like the Massachusetts Family Ties program and the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) if you need additional guidance or advocacy.
