Does MedStar Family Choice ABA Therapy in Maryland?

Yes. MedStar Family Choice is one of Maryland’s HealthChoice managed care organizations, and it covers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy when it’s medically necessary for a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Coverage is based on your child’s clinical documentation and an approved Plan of Care. Since every plan is structured a little differently, Able Minds ABA verifies coverage details in advance so families understand what’s approved before therapy begins.

Depending on your MedStar Family Choice plan, insurance coverage may apply to different types of ABA therapy services. These services are designed to support your child’s development while meeting MedStar Family Choice behavioral health guidelines.

  • ABA therapy assessments

  • Ongoing one-on-one ABA therapy
  • Parent and caregiver training

MedStar Family Choice Coverage for In-Home ABA Therapy

Many MedStar Family Choice members qualify for in-home ABA therapy when treatment goals are best addressed in the child’s home environment.

  • Reducing challenging behaviors at home
  • Family involvement and consistency
  • Practicing skills in familiar settings

Our team confirms whether your MedStar Family Choice plan covers in-home ABA therapy in Maryland and manages all required approvals.

What is ABA?

ABA is the research-backed approach that creates tangible change for children with autism. We know it works because we see it every day — children learning to express themselves, mastering daily living skills, and developing self-awareness.

With Able Minds ABA, it can work for your child too.
