ABA Insurance & Medicaid Coverage in Maine

Maine families have strong protections for autism therapy. Maine's insurance mandate (Title 24-A § 2843-B) requires many private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA for children under 21. Additionally, MaineCare (Maine's Medicaid program) covers ABA services for eligible children, often with no out-of-pocket costs. Section 65 of the MaineCare Benefits Manual includes ABA under behavioral health services.

When you use our free matching service, we verify coverage with your specific plan-whether private insurance, MaineCare, or a combination-so you know exactly what your benefits include before starting therapy. This helps reduce financial surprises and makes the process smoother for Scarborough families.
