Coverage made simple

Getting started should feel simple.

We accept every type of Maryland Medicaid, we're in-network with CareFirst, and we're TRICARE-certified. Almost every other commercial plan works with us out of network. Terrapin ABA handles the insurance maze so you can focus on what matters most: your child.

Good to know

ABA is a covered benefit in Maryland.

Maryland law requires most state-regulated health plans to cover medically necessary autism services, including ABA therapy, and Maryland Medicaid covers ABA for eligible children under 21. Every plan is different, so we verify exactly what yours covers, for free, before anything begins.

  • Free, no-obligation benefits check
  • Clear cost estimates before you start
  • We manage renewals and re-authorizations
