Peach State Health Plan ABA therapy coverage in Georgia
Your Peach State coverage, explained
Insurance jargon should never stand between your child and excellent ABA therapy. That's why we handle your coverage, your authorization, and every step in between, so all you have to focus on is your child.
Does Peach State Health Plan cover ABA therapy in Georgia?
Yes, currently, though this plan is being phased out
Peach State Health Plan has covered ABA therapy for eligible Georgia Medicaid members under 21 for years.
An important update: in January 2026, the Georgia Department of Administrative Services confirmed that Peach State did not receive a new Medicaid contract in the state's latest procurement. Georgia Medicaid is transitioning roughly 1.1 million members off Peach State and Amerigroup onto CareSource, Humana, Molina, or UnitedHealthcare. If you're currently on Peach State, your coverage is expected to change, and we'll help you figure out exactly what that means and when.

The specifics that matter
Members will need to select a new plan

We track the transition on your behalf

How your Peach State coverage plays out at Apex
Coverage is one thing. What happens with it is another.
With a plan transition ahead, this matters even more than usual. Having a provider who's actually tracking your specific situation makes the difference between a smooth handoff and a gap in care.

Small caseloads mean your authorization actually gets used well
