The out-of-pocket cost for ABA therapy can vary widely, depending on factors like location, session length, and insurance coverage. On average, hourly rates range from $120 to $250 without insurance. Since many children need 10 to 40 hours per week, full costs can add up quickly, reaching thousands of dollars monthly.

However, most insurance plans now cover ABA therapy when prescribed for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Coverage can include evaluations, ongoing sessions, and supervision by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Families may still have copays, deductibles, or coinsurance, depending on their plan.

For families paying out of pocket, many providers offer payment plans, reduced rates, or assistance programs to make care more affordable. The key is to ask your provider for a detailed breakdown before starting therapy.

At Kids n Heart ABA, we help families navigate insurance options and find flexible solutions to ensure every child can access quality, compassionate ABA therapy in North Carolina.
