Does Arizona Medicaid cover ABA therapy? Yes — Jigsaw Developmental Services accepts all three major AHCCCS managed care plans in the Phoenix area
Yes. AHCCCS (Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System) is Arizona’s Medicaid program. AHCCCS covers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for eligible members with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis who meet medical necessity criteria.
AHCCCS administers benefits through managed care organizations (MCOs) — also called managed care plans. Your specific ABA therapy benefits are determined by which AHCCCS managed care plan your child is assigned to. Jigsaw Developmental Services accepts all three major AHCCCS managed care plans in the Phoenix area.
