ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Virginia

In Virginia, many private insurance plans cover ABA therapy thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Virginia Code ยง 38.2-3418.9), which requires state-regulated plans to provide coverage for autism spectrum disorder treatments, including ABA. Virginia Medicaid also covers ABA for eligible children under 21 through the EPSDT benefit.

When you use our free matching service, we verify your insurance or Medicaid benefits with local providers so you know exactly what's covered before starting therapy. No surprises, just clarity.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Albemarle County

Albemarle County families have options. Many providers offer in-home ABA, where a therapist works with your child in your home environment - ideal for building real-life skills. Center-based ABA is also available in Charlottesville and nearby areas, providing a structured setting with peer interaction and supervised by BCBAs.

Telehealth ABA is another option for some families, especially for parent training or consultations. Your matching specialist will help you find providers that offer the setting that best fits your child's needs and your family's schedule.

What to look for in an ABA provider

A quality ABA provider should have Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) designing and overseeing all programs. Look for individualized treatment plans based on your child's strengths and challenges, regular progress tracking, and a strong emphasis on family involvement.

Also consider provider experience with your child's age group and specific needs, such as communication or school readiness. Our matching service only works with providers who meet these standards, so you can feel confident in your options.
