ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Washington

Many families in Gig Harbor are surprised to learn that ABA therapy is commonly covered by commercial insurance plans and by Washington State's Medicaid program, known as Apple Health. Washington's autism insurance mandate (HB 1109) requires many private insurers to cover medically necessary ABA for children diagnosed with autism, and Apple Health also covers ABA through managed care plans like Coordinated Care, Amerigroup, and Molina.

Our team verifies each family's insurance benefits before connecting them with providers, so you know exactly what your plan covers. We work with providers that accept Apple Health Medicaid, as well as most major private insurance plans. This means that even if you have limited or no out-of-pocket budget, your child may still be able to access quality ABA therapy in Gig Harbor.
