What CareFirst Community Health Plan Covers for ABA Therapy

What's Actually Covered

Here's what you can expect when using CareFirst Community Health Plan 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.

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.

What Makes CareFirst Community Health Plan's ABA Coverage Stand Out:

Backed by CareFirst's Network: Access to CareFirst's extensive provider network means more ABA therapy options and shorter wait times for Maryland families.
No Annual Limits: CareFirst Community covers medically necessary ABA therapy with no caps on services for children under 21.
Comprehensive Care Coordination: Care coordinators help families navigate the healthcare system, connect with community resources, and ensure seamless service coordination.
Streamlined Authorization: Leveraging CareFirst's infrastructure, the Community Health Plan typically processes authorizations efficiently within 10-14 business days.
