Insurance & Payment
Benefits, explained before you start.
Illinois families should not have to decode ABA coverage alone. Bring your card to consultation — we will talk through next steps.
Plans we commonly discuss
Lists change; your benefits booklet wins over any website. We verify before services begin.
-
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois
A common commercial plan for families we serve — bring your card so we can start verification.
-
Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare
Also frequently discussed. Coverage still depends on your specific plan and medical necessity.
-
Medicaid & other plans
Ask during consultation. Accepted networks can change; we will not list a plan we cannot honor.
-
Private pay questions
Ask. We will discuss options honestly if insurance is not a path.
How verification works
-
When we verify
Before therapy begins — so you understand the financial picture as best we can.
-
What we cannot promise
We do not guarantee coverage or a payer’s authorization decision. We do guarantee clarity before you start.
What to bring to consultation
Optional but helpful — you do not need a perfect folder to talk with us.
- Insurance card (primary, and secondary if you have one)
- Your child’s date of birth and any diagnosis / referral paperwork you already have
- A short list of your biggest hopes or concerns (even three bullets is enough)
- Questions about schedule, wait time, or whether we are a fit
Next step
Request a free consultation and include your insurer name if you can. Our team will help with next steps.
Insurance FAQ
Do you take Medicaid?
Ask during consultation. Accepted networks can change; we will answer for your plan honestly.
When do you verify benefits?
Before therapy begins. Bring insurance details to your free consultation so we can start that process.
Illinois autism insurance mandate
Illinois requires many regulated health plans to cover diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder, including ABA, with plan-specific exceptions. We help families understand next steps before services start. We do not guarantee a payer’s authorization decision, and we will not list a plan we cannot honor.
