ABA Therapy in Raleigh: What Families Need to Know
A Growing Metro with Growing Demand
Wake County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States. The Raleigh-Cary metro has attracted many ABA therapy practices in recent years, but the influx of new families has more than kept pace with provider growth. NC Medicaid's transition to managed care — through Tailored Plans and Standard Plans — has also created a more complex insurance landscape that can make it difficult for families to know which providers are in-network with their specific plan.
Match Care ABA navigates this complexity on your behalf, verifying which NC Medicaid managed care organization or commercial plan each provider accepts before connecting you with a matched practice.

NC Medicaid and Insurance Coverage for ABA in Raleigh
North Carolina General Statute 58-3-57 requires commercial insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children with autism. NC Medicaid also covers ABA therapy through its managed care system — including Tailored Plans (for children with complex needs) and Standard Plans through organizations such as Healthy Blue, AmeriHealth Caritas NC, Carolina Complete Health, United Healthcare Community Plan, and WellCare of NC. Match Care ABA confirms which specific plan each provider accepts before making your connection.

NC Infant-Toddler Program and Wake County Schools
North Carolina's Infant-Toddler Program (ITP) provides free early intervention services for children birth through age 2 with developmental delays or disabilities. Wake County's ITP coordinator can connect Raleigh families to evaluations and services. At age 3, children transition to Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) for Preschool Exceptional Children services.
Private ABA therapy through insurance can complement or supplement NC ITP and school services — and can often begin while you navigate the public evaluation process. Contact Match Care ABA to start your search.
