ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Maine
Maine law requires many private health insurance plans to cover autism spectrum disorder treatments, including ABA therapy, for children up to age 21 (Title 24-A, Chapter 35, Section 2836-A). This mandate helps Portland families access essential services without out-of-pocket burden. In addition, MaineCare (Maine's Medicaid program) covers ABA therapy for eligible children and adults, making it a vital resource for families with limited income.
When you use our free matching service, we ask about your insurance or MaineCare coverage so we can connect you with providers near you. We do not handle billing or claims - we simply help you find BCBA-led providers in Portland.
