Medicaid and ABA: Knowing Your Rights

	This article is a part of our Health Insurance and Autism Series. Take Me Back To The Insurance Hub

NJFamilyCare has included medically necessary ABA therapy as a member benefit since April 1, 2020. As a result, thousands of autistic individuals have been able to access medically necessary treatment.

Nevertheless, families seeking Medicaid-covered ABA treatment can still face a broad range of obstacles. In this webinar series, created by Autism New Jersey in co-sponsorship with the New Jersey State Bar Foundation, you will learn:

• Who is eligible for Medicaid
• How to apply
• How to advocate for coverage of your loved one’s medically necessary ABA
• Who is who in the world of insurance-funded ABA therapy
• What to do when it’s hard to find an in-network provider
• Insurance companies’ required disclosures
• Reasonable timelines and what to do when access to treatment is delayed
