Insurance Guidance

Understanding Your Insurance Coverage

Every state now requires insurance coverage for ABA therapy when treating autism spectrum disorder. But navigating the insurance landscape can feel like learning a foreign language.

Autism Centers of Pittsburgh partners with most major insurance carriers, including Medicaid, to minimize financial obstacles for families. We verify your benefits, explain your out-of-pocket costs clearly, compile and submit all necessary documentation, and advocate on your behalf.

Our goal is to remove as much stress from this process as possible. We always prepare a detailed Benefit Summary before starting services so there are no financial surprises.
