ABA Therapy in Colorado

Colorado law requires many private plans to cover medically necessary ABA therapy for autism (see SB 09-244 and SB 15-015) and Colorado Medicaid (Health First Colorado) covers ABA too, even without an autism diagnosis, but coverage isn’t automatic. You need a provider who knows how to navigate the system. That’s us.
