5× Best Behavioral/Mental Health Treatment in Southern Utah · Voted #1 in Utah 6 years running · CASP 2026 Platinum Sponsor
Utah Medicaid covers ABA therapy for eligible children with an autism diagnosis, along with mental health and psychiatric services. Bridgeway works with Traditional Medicaid and Medicaid ACO plans including Optum, Molina, and Healthy U — and our intake team helps families navigate eligibility and authorization paperwork.
How Utah Medicaid coverage typically works for ABA
- Diagnosis: an autism diagnosis from a qualified provider (Bridgeway performs these evaluations).
- Assessment & treatment plan: your BCBA completes an assessment and submits a treatment plan.
- Prior authorization: Medicaid reviews and authorizes hours — we handle the submission.
- Services begin, with periodic re-authorization using your child's progress data (we track the deadlines).
