Yes, Utah Medicaid covers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy as a medically necessary service for children and young adults under the age of 21. This coverage is provided through the federal Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) mandate, which requires states to provide treatments that correct or ameliorate conditions like autism.

Our team is an in-network provider, and we offer a variety of services under the Utah Medicaid autism benefit, including:

• Thorough ABA Assessments: Led by a BCBA to identify your child’s specific needs.
• Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs): Personalized strategies designed to reduce challenging behaviors and build new skills.
• Flexible Service Delivery: High-quality ABA therapy provided in-home, in schools, or via telehealth to reduce travel barriers.
• Biweekly Parent Training: Essential family guidance to help you reinforce progress and confidence at home.

To access these benefits, your child must have a formal autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and a referral or prescription from a qualified physician. While wait times at public clinics in Utah can often range from three to six months, we prioritize a white-glove service approach with a streamlined intake process to help families begin therapy much sooner—often within weeks.

Note: Insurance coverage varies by plan—verify benefits with your insurer before starting services. Results may vary and individual outcomes are not guaranteed. Consult your licensed BCBA or healthcare professional for individualized assessment and recommendations.
