ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Missouri

Missouri requires private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children with autism, up to age 18. This state mandate means most commercial insurance policies include ABA benefits. We also help families navigate coverage through Missouri's Medicaid program, MO HealthNet, which may cover ABA services for eligible children under 21.

Our team verifies your insurance benefits and connects you with providers who accept your plan. We also assist families without insurance by exploring state-funded options or sliding-scale payment arrangements. You don't have to figure out coverage alone - we make the process simpler.
