Making ABA Therapy Accessible For Your Family
Navigating insurance and autism services can feel overwhelming — especially when you're trying to do what’s best for your child.
At A Better Approach, we help simplify the process so you can focus on what matters most: your child’s growth and progress.
Our team works directly with your insurance provider to verify benefits, explain coverage, and guide you through every step of starting Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.
In-Network Plans
We are currently in-network with:
Aetna
Blue Cross Blue Shield (HMO & PPO)
Baylor Scott & White Health Plan
Cigna (HMO & PPO)
Out-of-Network Plans
We may be able to work with:
United Healthcare (Single Case Agreement required)
Our team can help determine whether a Single Case Agreement may be possible based on your plan and authorization requirements.
Medicaid Plans
At this time, we are not in-network with Medicaid plans, including:
Wellpoint
Parkland
and other Medicaid-managed plans
If your child has Medicaid coverage, we are happy to help families explore alternative providers that may be able to offer services.
We Help You Understand Your Insurance Coverage
Many health insurance plans include coverage for ABA therapy for children with autism, though each plan has different requirements like deductibles, copays, and authorizations.
Our team helps families by:
• Verifying your ABA therapy benefits
• Explaining deductibles, copays, and out-of-pocket costs
• Coordinating with your insurance provider
• Submitting required documentation and authorizations
• Answering your questions along the way
You don’t have to figure it out alone — we guide you through the entire process.
What Determines the Cost of ABA Therapy?
Every family’s cost is different and depends on your insurance plan.
Factors may include:
• Annual deductible
• Copay or coinsurance
• Out-of-pocket maximum
• Authorized therapy hours
• Insurance coverage rules
Once your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum is met, many families find that insurance covers most or all of their child’s therapy costs.
Our team will explain your expected costs before services begin so there are no surprises.
Financial Support Options
We believe every child deserves access to quality care.
If insurance coverage is limited, our team can help families explore available options. Payment plans may be available and must be arranged prior to the start of services.
We are committed to working with each family to identify the most appropriate path forward based on individual needs and circumstances.
In order for insurance to pay for ABA services, a medial assessment and Autism diagnosis from a licensed Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Neurologist, or Developmental Pediatrician is needed. A school diagnosis will not suffice for commercial insurance plans.
