We then have multiple weekly meetings to review your child’s progress to celebrate skill achievement and adjust interventions as needed. We will meet with you, as often as every week, to review progress, celebrate wins, and adjust goals.
ABA therapy is considered a medically necessary treatment for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. This means that insurance providers are required to cover the cost of ABA therapy to some extent. However, the amount of coverage can vary widely.
Medicaid covers the full cost of ABA therapy, while commercial insurance providers may only cover a portion of the cost (require a co-pay). Some insurance providers may limit the number of ABA therapy sessions that are covered each year. It is important to check with your insurance provider to understand what your coverage includes. If your insurance provider does not cover the full cost of ABA therapy, there may be other options available to help you afford this important therapy.
Atlas is here to help you navigate your insurance and understand your coverage.
