ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois

Illinois has an autism insurance mandate (Public Act 95-1005) that requires many private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. This means that if you have a commercial insurance plan through an employer, your policy may cover ABA therapy, often with a cap or age limit. Additionally, Illinois' Medicaid program - known as Illinois Medical Assistance - covers ABA therapy for eligible children under 21, including through the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver.

Our free matching team can verify your specific insurance benefits or Illinois Medicaid coverage before you commit to any provider. We work with a network of clinics that accept a wide range of plans, so you can focus on your child's progress rather than paperwork.
