ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois

Illinois families can often access ABA therapy through private insurance, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Public Act 096-1390), which requires many group health plans to cover medically necessary ABA. Additionally, Illinois Medicaid (Healthcare and Family Services) covers ABA for eligible children, including those enrolled in the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver for autism.

Get Started with ABA helps Rockford families verify their coverage before matching with a provider. We work with a wide range of plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare, as well as Illinois Medicaid. Simply share your insurance details, and we'll connect you with providers who accept your plan.
