Why Do You Need a CDE for ABA Therapy?
ABA is one of the most widely recommended therapies for children with autism. But before insurance companies, including Florida Medicaid, will approve or pay for ABA services, they require:
A confirmed diagnosis, and
A statement that ABA is medically necessary for your child
That’s where the CDE comes in. Without it, insurance cannot authorize therapy..
