Does Trillium Cover ABA Therapy?
Yes, Trillium Health Resources provides coverage for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in North Carolina. As one of the state’s Local Management Entities/Managed Care Organizations (LME/MCOs), Trillium administers behavioral health services through North Carolina Medicaid. Coverage specifics depend on Medicaid eligibility, clinical criteria, and prior authorization requirements. Below is an overview of Trillium’s ABA therapy coverage and how you can confirm and navigate your benefits with Blue Jay ABA.
Key Points About Trillium’s ABA Therapy Coverage
General Coverage:
Trillium covers ABA therapy for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by a licensed healthcare provider. Services are available for eligible Medicaid members who meet the clinical criteria for medical necessity.
State Mandates:
North Carolina Medicaid mandates coverage for medically necessary ABA therapy for children and adolescents with ASD. These regulations help ensure access to early, evidence-based behavioral interventions under state guidelines.
Medicaid Coverage:
Since Trillium operates under North Carolina Medicaid, ABA therapy coverage aligns with state Medicaid policies. This typically includes comprehensive therapy hours when services are authorized as medically necessary, ensuring access to both home-based ABA therapy and clinic-based services.
Medical Necessity & Pre-Authorization:
ABA therapy under Trillium must be authorized as medically necessary. A licensed provider must complete a diagnostic evaluation confirming ASD. Before services begin, pre-authorization is required to confirm that the treatment plan meets Trillium’s clinical coverage criteria.
Limitations & Exclusions:
Coverage under Trillium may include limits such as authorized therapy hours per authorization period or requirements that services be delivered by an in-network provider. Blue Jay ABA is proud to partner with Trillium Health Resources to make ABA therapy accessible and affordable for families throughout North Carolina.
Steps to Verify and Navigate Trillium ABA Therapy Coverage
To make the most of your Trillium benefits for ABA therapy, follow these steps:
- Review Your Plan: Check your Trillium Medicaid member handbook or online portal to review details about behavioral health benefits, coverage limits, and service authorizations.
- Obtain an ASD Diagnosis: A licensed healthcare provider must provide an official diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder for ABA therapy eligibility.
- Request Pre-Authorization: Contact Trillium or work with your ABA provider (like Blue Jay ABA) to begin the pre-authorization process.
- Verify Your Provider: Make sure your ABA provider is in-network with Trillium to ensure full coverage and avoid out-of-pocket costs.

Conclusion
Trillium Health Resources covers ABA therapy for children and adolescents diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder under North Carolina Medicaid.
