ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Maryland

Maryland law requires many private health plans to cover ABA therapy for autism (Maryland's Autism Insurance Act). In addition, Maryland's Medicaid program, called Medical Assistance, covers ABA for eligible children under age 21. Some families also qualify for the Maryland Autism Waiver, which provides intensive ABA services through Medicaid.

Our free service helps you understand your specific coverage. Simply share your insurance details, and we'll match you with providers in Washington County who are in-network with your plan-including those who accept Maryland Medicaid.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Washington County

ABA providers in Washington County offer flexible options to fit your family's life. In-home therapy takes place right in your Hagerstown or Boonsboro home, helping your child learn skills in a familiar setting. Center-based programs, often located near Hagerstown, provide a structured environment with peers and specialized materials. Telehealth ABA is also available for parent coaching and remote support, ideal for families in more rural parts of the county.

Our matching network includes BCBA-led providers who deliver all three formats. You can choose what works best for your child's needs and your family's schedule.

What to look for in an ABA provider

Choosing an ABA provider is a personal decision. Look for a team led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs individualized goals. Ask about their experience with your child's specific needs-whether it's communication, school readiness, or daily routines. A good provider will offer parent training, regular progress updates, and a respectful, neurodiversity-affirming approach.

Also confirm they accept your insurance (we help with that) and that they offer the setting you prefer. Many Washington County providers have flexible scheduling and can begin services quickly after insurance approval.
