True Progress Therapy is delighted to welcome Anthem-insured families by offering ABA therapy services tailored to your child’s strengths and goals.
Yes, Anthem provides coverage for ABA therapy services in compliance with state and federal mandates for autism care—supporting access to essential services when ABA is clinically necessary. Coverage specifics—including session limits, plan types, and regional regulations—can vary significantly.
Several factors can impact Anthem of NJ’s coverage for ABA therapy, including:
State and Plan Variation
State autism mandates and your specific Anthem plan (HMO, PPO, Medicaid, commercial) influence coverage.
ASD Diagnosis Required
A formal diagnosis of ASD from a qualified provider is typically mandatory.
Preauthorization Needs
Anthem often needs pre-approval, including a referral and a detailed treatment plan.
In-Network Providers
Coverage is maximized when services are delivered by in-network ABA providers; using out-of-network may increase your costs.
Anthem plans commonly cover:
Initial Assessments & Evaluations
Comprehensive assessments conducted by Behavior Analysts or qualified professionals to tailor therapies.
