Questions
Common questions.
Do we need an autism diagnosis to start?
It depends on your plan. Medi-Cal plans typically need a recommendation for ABA from your child’s physician, not a full autism evaluation. Commercial plans usually require an autism diagnosis from a licensed psychologist or physician. Not sure which applies to you? Call us and we’ll tell you exactly what’s needed.
Will I have out-of-pocket costs?
It depends on your plan’s deductible and copay. We review your benefits with you before services begin, so there are no surprises.

Timelines vary by plan. We submit everything promptly and keep you updated until you’re approved.
