In-Network Insurance and Financial Resources
Payment Methods:
At ABA Consulting Services we want to provide you with both financial resources and options. Because of this we accept two methods of payment for our services.
We accept in-network private insurance as well as Medicaid. Our in-network providers are listed below. We also accept private pay that allows you to personally cover all costs associated with our programs.
Our In-Network Insurance Companies
*At ABA Consulting we are proud to be be in-network with so many insurance companies. We however are in no way affiliated with these companies or their actions. We also are not responsible for coverage benefits. Because of this we can not guarantee that our services will be covered under your plan. We are happy to talk about insurance coverage when you are ready to get started.
For more information you can call us at our intake Line.
Need more coverage? Medicaid might be the answer.
- Medicaid is a resource that is available to children who have autism. It can be used as a primary insurance or as a secondary insurance to a commercial plan.
- Unlike some insurance plans that do not have ABA benefits, Medicaid covers ABA therapy. This coverage can be utilized as a primary insurance, if the primary insurance does not have ABA benefits, or as a secondary to cover the cost of what the primary insurance does not cover.
- While Medicaid has different restrictions to enroll, we encourage families to speak with someone at Medicaid to see if they are eligible regardless of the restrictions.
Financial Resources
We understand that finances are complicated. That is why we have put together a list of financial resources we feel could help you understand your coverage and offer more financial aid.
Note:
*We want to provide you with a comprehensive list of financial resources. The more tools you have as a primary care giver the better experience your child will have.
We in no way are affiliating ourselves with these organizations or their actions. We can not guarantee that they will be a fit for your needs as every situation is different. To work with these organizations you will have to contact them individually.
