Insurance Management

We handle the paperwork too — all insurance requirements, claims, and authorizations — giving you more time for the family moments that matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve got the answers
How do I know if my child needs ABA therapy?
If your child has an autism diagnosis, or is struggling with communication, social interaction, daily routines, or behavioral challenges, ABA can help. Children can benefit from ABA therapy at any stage of development, but early intervention often yields the best outcomes. Our BCBA will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine your child’s specific needs and create a personalized plan.
Will insurance cover my child's ABA therapy in North Carolina?
In North Carolina, Medicaid and most major insurance providers cover ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis, as it’s recognized as a medically necessary treatment. We work with all major insurers and handle the entire approval process for you, from initial authorization to ongoing claims management. Our team will verify your benefits upfront so you know exactly what to expect, with no surprise costs later on. Just reach out to start or if you have any questions.
How long does ABA therapy typically take to show results?
Every child progresses at their own pace, but many families begin seeing positive changes within the first few weeks. Small breakthroughs often happen first – better eye contact, following simple instructions, or reduced meltdowns. More significant milestones like improved communication and independence typically develop over months. With our above-standard BCBA supervision, we track progress closely and adjust strategies to keep up the momentum consistently.
Will I be involved in my child's therapy?
Yes, very much so. In our experience, ABA is most effective when families and therapists work as a unified team. Together, we’ll set goals that are important to you, discuss progress and setbacks, and celebrate wins!
Our RBTs provide direct therapy right at home, so you can participate in sessions as often as you want. We also offer comprehensive parent training so you can learn the strategies we’re using to support your child’s progress throughout the day.
