Yes. NCDHHS covers ABA therapy, under certain conditions.
Understanding the coverage for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy under North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) is crucial for families and individuals dealing with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). NCDHHS plays a pivotal role in providing healthcare services, including treatments for autism.
NCDHHS oversees a range of services for individuals with autism, starting from early childhood and extending into adulthood. Here’s how they approach ABA therapy and related services:
For families seeking ABA therapy for their children with ASD, understanding the coverage specifics and navigating the system is essential:
A: In July 2021, NCDHHS began offering Research-Based Behavioral Health Treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder for individuals aged 21 and over. This expansion reflects a growing recognition of the need for continued support into adulthood.
A: Yes, Medicaid covers ABA therapy for children under 21 as long as the services are medically necessary. This coverage is a part of the EPSDT benefit, which is dedicated to providing comprehensive healthcare for children with Medicaid.
A: North Carolina law requires major insurers governed by the NC Department of Insurance to cover autism services, including ABA therapy, for individuals under 18 years of age. However, coverage is capped annually and adjusted based on the consumer price index, and is subject to co-pays and deductibles.
A: While ABA is a well-known treatment for ASD, NCDHHS also recognizes other therapies. Treatments like TEACCH, developed in North Carolina, may be as effective or more so for certain individuals, depending on their specific needs
NCDHHS, through its various programs and Medicaid, provides crucial support for ABA therapy and other autism-related services. The coverage is comprehensive for children and has been recently expanded to include adults, reflecting a commitment to providing necessary care for individuals with ASD at all stages of life.
