FINANCES AND INSURANCE

The cost of caring for someone with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is different for each family. Many times, we are asked about insurance options or other funding available for families with a child or children living with ASD.

Although MAC accepts most major insurance companies, we recommend you contact your insurance company directly to determine if care is covered.  Please reach out to our billing department for a list of common billing codes.

Many of MAC’s clients use state-specific programs for accessing care.  For more information see below.

MAC is an EIDBI and CTSS provider.  Early Intensive Developmental Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) is a program to support medically necessary early intervention for autism spectrum disorder in children and young adults up to age 21.  Children’s Therapeutic Services and Supports (CTSS) are a set of mental health services developed to provide restorative rehabilitative interventions covered by Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) to children and families.

Families can qualify for Minnesota Health Care programs by income level and/or by disability.  To learn more about autism resources in your county, Minnesota health care options, and more please visit the Minnesota DHS Autism Resource Portal.
