ABA Therapy Services Covered by Amerigroup Insurance

As a Medicaid managed care plan, Amerigroup recognizes ABA therapy as an evidence-based service that supports communication, behavior, and daily living skills. Coverage depends on medical necessity, clinical evaluation, and your plan's specific requirements. Aim Higher ABA verifies your Amerigroup benefits before therapy begins, so your family understands what's approved and what steps come next.
