ABA coverage in Arkansas
Arkansas Medicaid, including the ARKids First program, covers medically necessary ABA therapy for children under 21 when prescribed by a doctor. Many private insurance plans in the state also provide ABA benefits, often as part of mental health or autism coverage. Arkansas does not have a state mandate requiring private insurers to cover ABA, but many employer-sponsored plans and those purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace include it.
