ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Virginia
In Virginia, ABA therapy is commonly covered by private insurance plans and state Medicaid programs. Virginia's Medicaid program, known as Medallion 4.0 and administered by the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS), covers autism services including ABA for eligible children under 21. Additionally, Virginia's autism insurance mandate requires large group plans to provide coverage for autism-related treatments, including ABA, up to a specified annual cap. Our free service helps you navigate these benefits by connecting you with providers near you.
For families in Forest without private insurance, Medicaid coverage for ABA is available through the Health Insurance Exchange or via referrals from your pediatrician or local Community Services Board (CSB) in Lynchburg. We will ask about your coverage during the initial call and only match you with providers that can eliminating the guesswork and delays.
