ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children under 21 through the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. Additionally, California's autism insurance mandate (SB 946) requires most private health plans to cover medically necessary ABA for members with autism-meaning families in Sonoma County often have coverage through employer plans or Covered California.

Our team works with you to verify benefits before any session begins. Whether you have private insurance, Medi-Cal, or a combination, we help match you with providers who accept your plan.

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

Sonoma County families can choose from in-home, center-based, or telehealth ABA settings. In-home therapy allows therapists to work directly in your child's natural environment, while center-based programs provide structured learning with peers in places like Santa Rosa or Petaluma. Telehealth is also available for families who prefer remote sessions or live in more rural areas like Healdsburg or Cloverdale.

No matter your preferred setting, our matching service finds BCBA-supervised providers who offer the flexibility your family needs. Many providers serve multiple locations across the county, from Rohnert Park to Sebastopol.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Sonoma County, look for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises all programs and works closely with your family.

Also confirm that the provider is licensed in California and accepts your insurance or Medi-Cal. Our network includes only vetted, BCBA-led providers who meet these standards, so you can trust the matches we recommend.
