What AmeriHealth Caritas Covers for ABA Therapy

What's Actually Covered

Here's what you can expect when using AmeriHealth Caritas for ABA therapy. Coverage generally includes:

Comprehensive Behavioral Assessments

A full evaluation to assess your child's strengths, needs, and goals, forming the basis for a personalized treatment plan tailored to them.

In-Home ABA Therapy

One-on-one therapy in the comfort of your home where your child feels most at ease. This is where ABA therapy happens most effectively, addressing communication, behavior, and life skills.

School-Based Support

Therapy that extends into your child's school environment, ensuring the skills they learn at home carry over into the classroom and social settings.

Daycare-Based ABA Therapy

One-on-one support in your child’s daycare setting, helping them practice social skills, follow routines, and participate in group activities with confidence.

Parent Training & Support

We equip you with the knowledge and skills to continue reinforcing therapy at home, ensuring your child's progress is consistent and long-lasting.

Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustments

Regular tracking of your child's progress with ongoing adjustments to the therapy plan to ensure continuous improvement.

Weekend ABA Therapy

Flexible therapy sessions offered on weekends to support families who need additional scheduling options. These sessions help your child practice communication, behavior, and social skills during real-life activities and family routines.

Early Intervention ABA Therapy

Specialized therapy for young children focused on building foundational communication, social, and learning skills during the earliest stages of development. Starting early helps create strong habits and supports long-term success at home, in daycare, and in school.

  • Flexible Service Settings: Coverage includes in-home, school-based, and community-based ABA therapy, ensuring your child gets support wherever they need it most.
  • Streamlined Reauthorization: AmeriHealth's reauthorization process is designed to minimize gaps in service, with automatic reminders and simplified renewal procedures.
