AmeriHealth Caritas offers ABA therapy coverage as part of its behavioral health benefits.

This therapy is often considered a medical necessity for treating ASD, so most Medicaid plans under AmeriHealth Caritas include it.

1. Diagnosis: A formal ASD diagnosis by a licensed healthcare provider is required.
2. Treatment Plan: A detailed treatment plan, including therapy goals and objectives, must be submitted for approval.
3. Licensed Provider: Therapy must be provided by a licensed and qualified ABA professional.

Approval from AmeriHealth Caritas is often required before therapy services can begin.

The approval process for ABA therapy under AmeriHealth Caritas can involve multiple steps, including preparing and submitting necessary documentation.

Families are encouraged to work closely with their healthcare providers to ensure all paperwork is completed accurately and submitted on time.

Understanding your specific AmeriHealth Caritas plan, including any coverage limits or co-pays, is essential. Contact AmeriHealth Caritas directly or consult your member handbook for detailed guidance.
