Aetna often covers ABA therapy for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) when the therapy is considered medically necessary.
Thanks to Nevada’s autism insurance mandate, many insurance plans are required to provide coverage for autism services, including ABA therapy. Every plan is a little different though. Coverage can vary depending on your specific plan and medical status.
The good news? You don’t have to figure that out on your own. Our team will review your Aetna benefits and explain everything in plain English – no confusing insurance language.
Your child must have a formal diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder from a qualified healthcare professional.
ABA therapy must be recommended as a necessary treatment for your child’s development.
