Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a science-based approach that helps children with autism build communication, social, and daily living skills.

We help you navigate insurance and Medicaid coverage so your family can focus on what matters most.
ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Montana
Montana Medicaid (including the Healthy Montana Kids program) covers medically necessary ABA therapy for eligible children under the EPSDT benefit. Many private insurance plans in Montana are also required to include ABA coverage thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate, which applies to large group plans.
Our team helps families verify their specific plan's ABA benefits and find providers who accept their insurance. We also guide families through Medicaid and CHIP options available in Yellowstone County.
In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Yellowstone County
Yellowstone County families can choose from several ABA delivery models. In-home therapy allows children to learn in familiar surroundings, while center-based programs in Billings offer structured environments with peer interaction. Many providers also offer telehealth ABA, which can be ideal for families in more rural parts of the county like Lockwood or Huntley.
We match you with providers that offer the setting best suited to your child's needs and your family's schedule-whether that's a clinic near downtown Billings, in-home support in Laurel, or a hybrid model.
What to look for in an ABA provider
The most important factor is supervision by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). A quality provider will conduct a thorough assessment, create individualized goals, and involve parents through regular training. Look for providers who prioritize positive reinforcement, data-driven progress tracking, and a respectful, person-first approach.
It's also wise to ask about therapist-to-child ratios, session length, turnover rates, and how the provider collaborates with schools, speech therapists, and other professionals in your child's life.
