Starting ABA Therapy With Anthem HealthKeepers Plus
Anthem HealthKeepers Plus is one of Virginia’s Medicaid managed care plans, which means ABA therapy is covered through the plan’s authorization process rather than as a straightforward commercial benefit.
The plan generally wants to see a current autism diagnosis, an assessment carried out by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and a treatment plan setting out recommended hours and goals. Our intake team assembles that and submits it, then follows it up.
The areas we staff in Virginia are listed on the ABA therapy in Virginia page. Families moving between Virginia plans can read about Virginia Medicaid (DMAS) and Aetna Better Health of Virginia, and the full list is on our insurance we accept page.
