Coverage details

Key Points About Trillium's ABA Therapy Coverage

General Coverage

Trillium covers ABA therapy for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by a licensed healthcare provider. Services are available for eligible Medicaid members who meet the clinical criteria for medical necessity.

State Mandates

North Carolina Medicaid mandates coverage for medically necessary ABA therapy for children and adolescents with ASD. These regulations help ensure access to early, evidence-based behavioral interventions under state guidelines.

Medicaid Coverage

Since Trillium operates under North Carolina Medicaid, ABA therapy coverage aligns with state Medicaid policies. This typically includes comprehensive therapy hours when services are authorized as medically necessary, ensuring access to both home-based ABA therapy and clinic-based services.

Medical Necessity & Pre-Authorization

ABA therapy under Trillium must be authorized as medically necessary. A licensed provider must complete a diagnostic evaluation confirming ASD. Before services begin, pre-authorization is required to confirm that the treatment plan meets Trillium’s clinical coverage criteria.

Limitations & Exclusions

Coverage under Trillium may include limits such as authorized therapy hours per authorization period or requirements that services be delivered by an in-network provider. Blue Jay ABA is proud to partner with Trillium Health Resources to make ABA therapy accessible and affordable for families throughout North Carolina.
