Hii cjc you should look into Vermont law... As I understand it, it's the first state to mandate the Medicare (state health insurance) to cover aba, at first just to age 6, but now it's till 18 or 19, good luck.

Mass does, and it is also mandatory to have health insurance here, but if you cannot afford it you get put on Mass Health which is the state health insurance. Both of my kids have been on MassHealth from the start, and we pay not co pays or prescription costs at all. That includes specialists at Childrens as well.

My wife cannot work because she has to work with the kids, and I do not make much so I was able to drop my company health insurance and go on Masshealth as well with my wife and kids, and my wife and I pay a very low rate for co pany and scrips, it is something like $5 or so.

For the therapies it is payed for by the state technically but it goes through tthe school system and they actually pay it here.

Wisconsin has a clts waiver program that will cover 3y of intensive aba and continue after less intensive for as long as it is helping your child. To qualify the child must be under 8 when appling. Hasn't had more then a year of aba (think this is more to prevent being supplemental coverage) and there is ba 1y wait list.
