Free ABA Therapy Matching Service for Families of Children With Autism

What Is a Free ABA Matching Service and How Does It Work?

A free ABA matching service takes the hardest parts of finding therapy off your plate. Instead of spending weeks cold-calling providers from an outdated directory, you share some basic information about your child and your family's needs, and a team does the searching, calling, and verifying for you.

Here is how Match Care ABA works:

1. You fill out a short intake form, about 3 minutes. We ask about your child's age, your location, your insurance plan, and whether you prefer home-based, clinic-based, or school-based ABA therapy.
2. Our team searches our provider network, checking real-time availability, confirming your specific insurance is accepted, and verifying that a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) supervises all care.
3. We reach out to you with your match, and you connect with the provider when you are ready to schedule.

How Match Care ABA Matches You in Days, Not Months

The average ABA therapy waitlist in the United States runs 6 to 12 months. For many families, that means half a year or more of missed early-intervention time while their child sits on a list.

Match Care ABA changes that timeline. Because we maintain direct relationships with providers across our service area and verify their availability before making a match, most families hear back within a matter of days, depending on their area and insurance.

We move quickly because we do the homework that would otherwise take you weeks of phone calls:

• We confirm that a provider is actually taking new clients right now, not just listed as "accepting patients" on a website that hasn't been updated in a year
• We verify that your specific insurance plan is in-network, so you don't waste time on providers who can't bill your carrier
• We match on location and service type so the connection makes practical sense for your daily life

What Insurance Plans Are Covered?

Match Care ABA works with families on virtually every major insurance plan, including:

• Commercial plans: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, Humana, and more
• Medicaid: We serve families enrolled in state Medicaid programs and help navigate managed care plan networks
• Employer-sponsored and marketplace plans: If your plan covers ABA therapy, we can match you

We verify your specific plan's in-network status with each provider before making a match, so you know it will work before anyone picks up the phone.
