ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois

Illinois law requires many private health plans to cover autism-related treatments, including ABA therapy, for children up to age 21 (Public Act 95-1005). This mandate applies to most employer-sponsored and individual plans sold in the state. Additionally, Illinois Medicaid - the state's public health insurance program - covers ABA therapy for eligible children and adults when deemed medically necessary.

Our matching service works with providers who accept a wide range of insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicaid managed care plans like HealthChoice Illinois.
