How Much Does ABA Therapy Cost with Insurance?
The cost of ABA therapy with insurance can vary widely, but many plans cover a significant portion (if not all) of the expense. The cost depends on each individual’s insurance plan. Our intake team can contact your insurance company to find out the details of your coverage.
At A Bridge to Achievement (ABtA), we accept:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)
- MedCost
- Aetna NC State Health Plan
- Medicaid: In North Carolina, Medicaid generally covers the full cost of ABA therapy for eligible children and, in some cases, adults, resulting in little to no out-of-pocket expenses for families.
- Private Pay
How Much Does ABA Therapy Cost without Insurance?
The cost of ABA therapy without insurance can be quite high. The total cost depends on the intensity and frequency of the therapy sessions, which can add up to thousands of dollars per month.
What about the similar but different question: How much does ABA therapy cost without an autism diagnosis? Unfortunately, the answer is the same. The total cost depends on the intensity and frequency of the therapy sessions. Need a diagnostic evaluation? Simply request services to get the process started.
ABA Therapy Programs at ABtA
Building Bridges & BRIDGES
At A Bridge to Achievement, we offer two comprehensive ABA therapy programs for autistic learners. Building Bridges is an early intervention program for ages 3 to 6; BRIDGES is for preteens, teenagers, and young adults.
Building Bridges | Ages 3-6
Building Bridges is a fun, preschool alternative and Kindergarten-readiness program available Monday through Friday. Learners spend an average of 30 hours a week working one-on-one and in small groups with Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Individualized ABA therapy treatment plans are determined by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and the learner’s family.
Building Bridges is offered at all ABtA learning centers.
BRIDGES | Ages 8-21+
The BRIDGES program utilizes individualized ABA therapy plans to teach and reinforce skills relevant to the everyday lives of older learners. Therapeutic services are delivered one-on-one and in small group settings with the aim of promoting autonomy, self-sufficiency, and empowerment. The perfect complement to homeschool curriculum, BRIDGES is available 6+ hours every weekday.
BRIDGES is offered at our Charlotte and Winston-Salem centers.
