Cost of ABA therapy in Vermont
The honest version: with Vermont Medicaid, most families pay nothing out of pocket. With private insurance, you pay your plan’s normal cost-sharing. Here are the real numbers and where they come from.

out of pocket for most families
Vermont Medicaid covers ABA for eligible kids under 21 and pays providers directly. Your job is the paperwork — and we do that part with you.
WHAT THE STATE PAYS PROVIDERS
Set behind the scenes
Vermont doesn’t publish one simple, current hourly rate for ABA — payment runs through the state’s own model. It doesn’t change your side of the math: with Medicaid, most families pay nothing out of pocket.
WITH PRIVATE INSURANCE
Your plan’s normal cost-sharing
Vermont law requires state-regulated plans to cover autism care (on the books since 2010). You pay deductibles and copays like any other medical care — and we tell you the exact number for your plan before you start.
Rates and rules change on the state’s schedule, not ours — we keep this page current, but your plan’s written verification is the number that counts. That’s why the coverage check comes first, free.
