ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois

Illinois requires most private health insurance plans to cover autism-related services, including ABA therapy, under the state's autism insurance mandate (Public Act 95-1017). This means many Urbana families can use their private insurance to help cover the cost of ABA. Additionally, Illinois' Medicaid program (Illinois Medical Assistance) covers ABA therapy for eligible children, often with no out-of-pocket costs.

When you use our free service, we ask about your insurance so we can match you with providers who accept your plan - including those who work with Illinois Medicaid. We make it easier to navigate coverage and find a provider that fits your financial situation.
