ABA Insurance & Medicaid Coverage in Virginia

Virginia law requires many private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, typically up to age 10. This mandate, along with the Affordable Care Act's essential health benefits, means that ABA is often covered by plans purchased through the marketplace or employer-sponsored plans.

Virginia Medicaid (including FAMIS) covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Additionally, Virginia's early intervention program (Part C) may fund ABA for children under age 3. Our team can guide you through coverage options and connect you with providers near you.
