Autism Resources & Insurance information

Funding EIDBI Services

Children diagnosed with autism or related disorder may have treatment coverage within their private insurance policy. Policy owners should contact their provider to confirm the coverage for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.
Additional funding for treatment is also available through the state of Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS). Click this link to print a paper application or to apply online for a Minnesota Health Care Program (MHCP) and Medical Assistance (MA).
For children whose family’s income is too high for MA or other MHCP programs, DHS offers medical coverage under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA). The TEFRA option allows Medical Assistance (MA) eligibility for children with disabilities whose parents have too much income to qualify for MA or other Minnesota Health Care Programs or who qualify but the cost would be too high.
