Insurance Coverage Guide
ABA Therapy Providers Accepting Medicaid in Colorado
Colorado Medicaid, branded as Health First Colorado, covers ABA therapy for children and adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Colorado was an early adopter of ABA coverage mandates, and Medicaid has required coverage since the state's autism insurance reform. There is no annual dollar cap on ABA services under Medicaid, and the benefit applies to both clinic-based and in-home delivery. Families must obtain a qualifying autism diagnosis from a licensed provider, and the treating BCBA must be credentialed with Health First Colorado. Prior authorization is required before services begin.
Typical Authorization Timeline
10 to 30 business days after a complete request is submitted
Annual Re-Authorization
Required annually in most cases
Medicaid in Colorado is administered through managed care organizations (MCOs) such as Aetna Better Health, Colorado Access, Friday Health Plans, and others. Your specific MCO determines the authorization process and which providers are in-network. Check your Medicaid card for your MCO name.
