ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Illinois

Illinois requires most private health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for autism under the state's autism insurance mandate (Public Act 095-1005). This means many Lake Forest families can use their employer-sponsored or individual plans to fund ABA services. Coverage details vary, so we help verify your benefits before connecting you with a provider.

Illinois Medicaid (also called Medical Assistance) covers ABA therapy for eligible children. If your child is enrolled in Medicaid or a Medicaid managed care plan, our team can match you with providers who accept Medicaid in Lake County. We also assist with Early Intervention (ages 0-3) and school-based referrals when appropriate.
