At Merakey Harrisburg, we understand that some families may be concerned about the cost of ABA therapy. We want to assure you that ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services since its benefits have been extensively researched. We recommend that you reach out to your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network.
