Families have trusted this practice with autism coverage for decades. You don't have to figure it out alone.

Question 1 of 5

How old is your child?

Age changes which programmes your family can use — it's the first thing that matters.

How many people are in your household?

Count everyone you claim on your tax return — you, any partner, and your children.

Roughly what does your household earn in a year?

Before taxes, your best guess. Pick the range you're closest to — we never see it, and nothing is saved.

Want a sharper answer?

How many hours of ABA a week?

Whatever the clinic or doctor recommended. If nobody has said a number yet, that's completely normal — pick the first one.

Does your child have an SSI or Social Security disability determination?

This is a letter from Social Security. Plenty of families don't have one — "not sure" is a perfectly good answer.

The written playbook, in English or Spanish — the questions to ask a carrier and the traps in clinic paperwork.

A human checks your real plans — free

Name your clinic, doctors and prescriptions and a licensed Texas advisor checks every 2026 plan in your county against them.

Take the whole playbook with you

The Texas ABA Coverage Playbook — everything above in writing, plus the parts a quick check can't do: your rights when no clinic is in network, the balance-billing trap in clinic intake paperwork, the prior-authorisation checklist, and the exact questions to ask a carrier before you enrol. In English and Spanish. Free.

Why we ask for an email: so we can send it, and check in once. That's it.

We store your name and email so we can send the guide and follow up once — nothing from the check above is saved or sent. No spam, unsubscribe any time.

What's in the Playbook

The decision order

Why Medicaid, CHIP and Texas's little-known Medicaid Buy-In for Children come before any marketplace comparison — and who qualifies for each in 2026.

The out-of-pocket reality

Why a $150,000 therapy year can legally cost your family at most $21,200 — and the three things that decide whether it actually works that way.

What Texas law does and doesn't promise

The autism mandate covers employer group plans — not individual marketplace plans. What protects you instead, and how to use it.

Network rights most families never use

When no in-network ABA clinic is reasonably available, Texas insurance law gives you leverage. What a single-case agreement is, and the balance-billing consent hiding in intake paperwork.

The prior-authorisation file

Exactly what carriers ask for — evaluation, assessments, treatment plan, CPT codes — and the reauthorisation clock nobody warns you about.

Questions to ask before you enrol

A one-page checklist to put to any carrier, in English and Spanish, with the answers that should worry you.

Stuck on a word? That's the system's fault, not yours.

Deductible, out-of-pocket max, prior authorisation — we wrote all of it out in plain words. Or just call and ask a person; explaining this is the job.

Read this before trusting any number on this page
  1. The check is educational arithmetic on public 2026 figures — poverty guidelines, out-of-pocket limits, published public-payer rates. It does not name plans, it does not determine eligibility for anything, and it stores nothing.
  2. What insurers actually pay ABA providers is set by private contract and is not public. Every cost here is a range between documented public figures — anyone who gives you one confident number is guessing.
  3. The plan-by-plan answer — your clinic, your prescriptions, real 2026 plans in your county — needs a licensed human, and that review is free. Nothing is automated into advice.
