Telehealth ABA is also available for parent training and some direct sessions.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania law (Act 62) requires many private health insurance plans to cover autism-related services, including ABA therapy, for children up to age 21. This means many Chester families may have coverage through their employer's plan. Additionally, Pennsylvania's Medicaid program - called Medical Assistance (MA) - covers ABA therapy for eligible children and youth. The Early Intervention program (for ages 0-3) and the Autism Services, Education, Resources, and Training (ASERT) collaborative also provide support and coverage guidance.

Because coverage can vary by plan and provider, our matching team will confirm which providers in Chester accept your specific insurance or Medical Assistance before making a referral. We help remove the guesswork so you can focus on getting therapy started.
