ABA Insurance & Medicaid Coverage in New York

New York State has strong autism insurance laws. Most commercial health plans in New York must cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism - no age caps are allowed under the state's autism mandate. Medicaid and Child Health Plus also cover ABA.

New York's Medicaid program (including the Healthfirst and Fidelis plans available in Kings County) covers ABA therapy for eligible children and adults. In addition, the state's Early Intervention Program provides evaluations and services - including ABA - for children under age 3 at no cost to families, regardless of insurance.

In-Home, Center-Based & Telehealth ABA in Kings County

Families in Kings County can choose from multiple ABA service delivery models. In-home therapy brings a BCBA or RBT into your home in neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Bed-Stuy, or Park Slope, allowing skills to be taught in the natural environment. Center-based ABA is offered at clinics across Brooklyn, providing structured settings with peer interaction and access to specialized equipment.

Telehealth ABA is also available for some families, particularly for parent coaching and consultation. This option can reduce travel time across Kings County and offers flexibility for families in areas with longer wait times for in-person services.

What to Look for in an ABA Provider

When choosing a provider in Kings County, look for Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who supervise all programs. Ask about the provider's experience with your child's specific age and needs, and whether they offer parent training - a key part of successful ABA. Also confirm they accept your insurance or Medicaid plan.

Other factors include location, waitlist length, and therapy environment. Visit the center if possible, or ask how they personalize goals. Our free service pre-screens providers for these qualities, so you can trust the matches we send.
