FAQs About Anthem BCBS ABA Therapy Coverage in Maine

Do we need a referral or diagnosis for ABA therapy to be covered by Anthem BCBS in Maine?

In most cases (with some exceptions, such as Colorado Medicaid), insurance plans require a formal diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from a qualified provider—such as a developmental pediatrician, neurologist, psychologist, or psychiatrist—before ABA therapy can be covered. Without this diagnosis, insurers typically do not consider ABA therapy medically necessary.

Does Anthem BCBS ABA therapy coverage in Maine require a prior authorization?

Almost always. Prior authorization means your insurance company must review and approve the treatment plan before services can start. Our team handles this process for you, submitting the necessary clinical documentation to ensure approval.

Do I need proof of medical necessity for ABA therapy to be covered by Anthem BCBS in Maine?

Yes. Insurance companies require documentation showing that ABA therapy is medically necessary for your child’s development. This is usually demonstrated through the diagnostic report and a treatment plan written by a BCBA outlining specific, measurable goals.

Does Anthem BCBS cover ABA therapy for all ages in Maine?

How long does it take for Maine to approve ABA therapy in Maine?

Approval times vary by insurer, but typically range from 1–3 weeks after all documents are submitted. Delays can occur if additional information is requested. Our team stays in close contact with your insurance to help move the process along.

Are parent/caregiver training sessions covered by Anthem BCBS in Maine?

Yes, most plans include coverage for caregiver training as part of the ABA treatment program. These sessions are considered essential because progress is greatest when parents and caregivers are part of the learning process.

Does Anthem BCBS cover virtual ABA therapy in Maine?

Many insurers do cover telehealth ABA sessions, especially for parent training or supervision by a BCBA. Coverage may depend on your state and specific plan. We can confirm eligibility during your benefits check.

What if my Anthem BCBS plan doesn’t cover ABA therapy in Maine?

If your plan excludes ABA or limits coverage, we’ll walk you through alternatives—such as appealing the denial, switching to a plan with autism benefits, or exploring private pay or grant options. Some states also offer Medicaid or autism mandates that ensure ABA coverage.
