A Clear, Compassionate Intake Process

Starting ABA therapy shouldn’t feel complicated. 
At Skill Builders ABA, our intake team connects with families within 24 hours of reaching out. We’ll help you gather the necessary information — from insurance details to diagnostic paperwork — and coordinate authorizations so your family can begin services as soon as possible.

1. It Starts with a Conversation

No call center. No script. You’ll speak with a real Intake Coordinator about what’s going on with your child and receive clear next steps within 24 hours.

Start the conversation

2. We Advocate for Your Coverage

Insurance is the part nobody looks forward to, so we take it off your plate: verifying your ABA benefits, handling authorization, and telling you the real cost before anything starts.

Check your insurance

3. Play-based observation by a BCBA

A Board Certified Behavior Analyst observes your child and talks with you about daily routines and goals. It feels much more like play than an exam.

4. Care Plan & Scheduling

Once the care plan is ready, you’ll meet the RBT who will work directly with your child and choose session times that fit your family’s schedule.

FAQs

We understand that starting ABA therapy can feel overwhelming. Below are answers to common questions about insurance, costs, service availability, required documentation, authorization timelines, and telehealth support in Maryland.

Does Maryland Medicaid cover ABA therapy for children under age 21?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. Maryland Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA therapy for eligible members under age 21 through the EPSDT program. The member must have a confirmed Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis, a qualifying diagnostic evaluation, a referral and an approved treatment plan.

Which ABA services can be provided through telehealth in Maryland?

keyboard_arrow_down

Maryland Medicaid permits certain ABA services through two-way, audio and video. These include direct supervision, individual parent training and group parent training. A Telehealth Readiness Checklist is required when requesting applicable telehealth services, and not all direct ABA treatment may be delivered remotely.

Is ABA Therapy in Spanish available in Maryland?

keyboard_arrow_down

Spanish-speaking may be available through secure telehealth sessions for Maryland families. Availability depends on Spanish-speaking clinician capacity, clinical appropriateness and Carelon or private-insurance authorization. The intake team can confirm the current options for your family.

How much does ABA therapy cost with private insurance in Maryland?

keyboard_arrow_down

Private-insurance costs depend on the plan’s deductible, copayment, coinsurance, network rules and authorized services. Because two families with the same carrier may have different benefits, Skill Builders ABA verifies the individual policy and explains the anticipated cost before services begin.

What documents are needed to begin ABA therapy in Maryland?

keyboard_arrow_down

Maryland Medicaid generally requires a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation confirming Autism Spectrum Disorder and a referral from a qualified healthcare professional. The evaluation includes direct observation, caregiver interviews, developmental and psychosocial history and information about current functioning. A BCBA then completes an assessment and detailed treatment plan for authorization.

Where does Skill Builders ABA provide in-home services in Maryland?

keyboard_arrow_down

Skill Builders ABA provides in-home services in Maryland based on the family’s location, staffing and insurance network. Families should submit their ZIP code to confirm whether an in-home team is currently available in their county. Telehealth support may be considered when immediate in-home staffing is unavailable.

Can families receive telehealth support while waiting for in-home services?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. When clinically appropriate, families may begin with virtual parent training or BCBA guidance while in-home availability is being evaluated. For Maryland Medicaid members, telehealth must be included in the treatment plan, meet the Telehealth Readiness Checklist requirements and receive the necessary authorization.
