ABA coverage in Kentucky

Kentucky Medicaid covers ABA therapy for eligible children under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit. This includes children under 21 with an autism diagnosis who meet medical necessity criteria. Private insurance plans regulated by the state are also required to cover ABA under Kentucky's autism insurance mandate (KRS 304.17A-624), typically for children up to age 21. However, coverage can vary, so it is important to verify with your specific plan.
