ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Florida

Florida law requires many private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism, thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (Florida Statute 627.6686). This means most commercial plans issued in Florida must provide coverage for ABA services. Additionally, Florida's Medicaid program, known as Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC), covers ABA therapy for eligible children under age 21 when prescribed by a physician.

Our free matching service works with providers who accept a wide range of insurance plans, including Florida Medicaid and major commercial carriers. We help verify your specific coverage so you can focus on your child's progress, not paperwork.
