How much does ABA therapy cost?

ABA therapy typically costs between $100 and $250 per hour before insurance, with total monthly costs ranging from approximately $4,000 to $20,000 or more depending on recommended weekly hours. Costs scale based on intensity, with 10 hours per week ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 and 40 hours per week ranging from $4,000 to $10,000 before coverage. Final out-of-pocket expenses depend heavily on insurance benefits, deductibles, copays, and state Medicaid policies. Many private plans and Medicaid programs cover ABA therapy, often significantly reducing family costs after deductibles are met. Additional expenses may include assessments, supervision, travel fees, or materials.
