ABA Therapy in Denver: What Families Need to Know
A Fast-Growing Metro with High Demand for ABA Services
The Denver metro area — including Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, and Centennial — is home to a large and growing community of families seeking ABA therapy. While Denver has more ABA providers than most of Colorado, demand still exceeds supply in many neighborhoods. Waitlists of 3–6 months are common at popular clinics, and families often call multiple providers before finding one with openings.
Denver families also navigate a mix of commercial insurance plans and Health First Colorado (Medicaid). Knowing which providers accept your specific plan and have current openings is essential — and that's exactly what Match Care ABA helps with.
Colorado's autism insurance mandate (SB 09-244, enacted in 2009) requires all state-regulated commercial insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children with autism. Major Denver-area insurers — including Anthem BCBS, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, and Kaiser Permanente — are required to cover ABA. Health First Colorado (Medicaid) also covers ABA therapy through the EPSDT benefit.

Health First Colorado & Commercial Insurance Verified
Before connecting you with a provider, we confirm that they accept your specific insurance plan — whether that's Health First Colorado (Medicaid), Anthem BCBS, Kaiser, Cigna, Aetna, or another carrier. No intake paperwork only to discover they don't accept your plan.
Currently-Accepting Providers Only
We verify that providers are actively accepting new clients before connecting you. No calling clinics only to find they have a 6-month waitlist or aren't taking new families.
