Don't Figure Out Insurance Alone

Illinois law requires most health plans to cover autism care, including diagnosis and therapy. Before services begin, we verify your benefits and explain, in plain words, in English or Spanish, what your plan covers and what, if anything, you would pay. No surprises.

We accept all PPO plans + BCCHP Medicaid
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois
  • Aetna
  • UnitedHealthcare
  • Humana
  • Cigna Healthcare

PPO plans: all of them.

Ages 2–12, all four services. If your card says PPO, we can almost certainly work with you.

Medicaid: Blue Cross Community Health Plans (BCCHP).

Ages 2–5: full program. Ages 6–12: after-school program.

Full BCCHP details

BCCHP and your child is over 5? The 1-2-3 path

  1. Your child has a signed IEP with their school.
  2. They attend school for part of the day and our after-school program for the other part.
  3. We coordinate both (the school day and the therapy day) with you and the school.

Different plan (HMO, other Medicaid, none)?

Call us. We'll look at your plan and tell you honestly whether your child may qualify. The benefits check is free for everyone.

Would switching plans open the door?

We'll walk you through your options using public resources: free guidance, no strings.

Transportation

BCCHP families: our Medicaid transportation partnership can provide rides between home or school and the center, both ways, coordinated with your family and the transport company. PPO families: ask us. Help may be available.

Plain words

Deductible

What you pay before insurance starts paying.

Copay

Your fixed share per visit.

Prior authorization

Insurance's “yes” before therapy starts; we handle the paperwork.

Payment plans & grants

Flexible payment plans so finances never block therapy, and a grants team that helps families apply for additional funding for medical expenses, including therapy.
