ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Missouri

Missouri's Medicaid program, MO HealthNet, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the age of 21 when medically necessary. In addition, Missouri has an autism insurance mandate that requires many private health plans to cover ABA services for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This means families in Osage Bend often have coverage through their employer-sponsored insurance or individual plans.
