Key Points About Vaya Health's ABA Therapy Coverage
General Coverage
Vaya Health covers ABA therapy as part of its behavioral health services for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by a licensed healthcare provider. Coverage is typically available for individuals under the age of 21, although specific details may vary based on the plan.
State Mandates
Vaya Health’s coverage is influenced by North Carolina state mandates, which may require comprehensive coverage for ABA therapy without annual caps. These mandates generally apply to fully insured plans, while self-funded plans may have different requirements and limitations.
Medicaid Plans
Vaya Health operates under North Carolina’s Medicaid program, meaning ABA therapy coverage is usually extensive and aligned with state Medicaid regulations.

Limitations & Exclusions
