ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Maine

ABA therapy is widely covered by both private insurance and MaineCare, Maine's Medicaid program. Maine law requires many private health plans to cover autism treatment, including ABA, for children up to age 21. This means most Dexter families can use their insurance benefits to pay for therapy.

If you have MaineCare, ABA is typically covered as a medically necessary service for children with an autism diagnosis. Our team can help you understand your coverage and find providers near you.
