Coverage varies by plan, but most Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial plans include:
- ABA assessment, also known as a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)
- One-on-one therapy sessions with a dedicated Behavior Technician
- BCBA-supervised treatment planning and oversight
- Caregiver training integrated into the therapy plan
- Progress reviews and ongoing goal updates
- Prior authorization management (handled by our team)
Most plans require a formal ASD diagnosis and a BCBA-developed treatment plan before authorizing services. We manage all of that on your behalf.
