How ABA works with Anthem BCBS.
Colorado law requires state-regulated health plans to cover autism treatment, including ABA. Most Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in Colorado include ABA benefits when therapy is medically necessary.
If your employer self-funds its plan, benefits can differ even when Anthem administers it. We check your specific plan before you commit to anything.
Anthem typically requires a formal autism diagnosis and prior authorization before ABA starts. Our intake team gathers the paperwork and submits it for you.
