Insurances We Accept

STEPS Behavioral Health accepts most major insurances. Contact us for any questions regarding coverage or plans in Maryland – we’ll be happy to provide you with the clearest guidance as to your best options.

Clients call our intake specialist to complete paperwork and schedule an appointment for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to meet with the child and guardian. The first appointment, lasting 1-2 hours, is typically scheduled within 45 days if paperwork is complete. Afterward, the BCBA drafts a treatment plan, reviews it with the family for adjustments, and submits it to the insurance company. Meanwhile, a treatment team is identified. Once insurance approval is received, staffing connections are made, with the entire process averaging about four months.

We service clients ages 2-21 years

  1. Absolutely! For children over the age of 5, we are able to provide behavioral support in school if their school allows us too.   Most private schools will allow us to accompany your child to provide ABA therapy.  However, most public schools do not allow this.  Our BCBAs can join families during IEP meetings and conferences to support any behavioral challenges your child may be facing.  
  2. Should you need additional support, STEPS Behavioral Health provides advocacy services at an out-of-pocket cost.  Please contact our intake coordinator for more information.  

Yes, but every insurance plan is different. Medicaid will usually cover ABA therapy while commercial plans typically have copays. 

ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) is based on the science of learning and behavior, used to help individuals with autism learn new skills and reduce problematic behaviors by identifying and reinforcing positive behaviors while minimizing negative ones.

Yes, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is ethical when practiced according to established guidelines. ABA professionals adhere to the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) Ethics Code, which emphasizes the client’s dignity, individualized treatment, and collaboration with families. Research shows that ABA is effective in helping individuals build meaningful skills and improve quality of life. Ethical ABA focuses on respecting individual needs and goals, using positive reinforcement and evidence-based strategies to promote growth and independence. Proper oversight, training, and continuous evaluation ensure ethical practices are maintained.

Every child has different needs, but the average recommendation is about 15 hours/week for school-aged children. Clients who participate in our Early STEPS program receive an average of 30 hours/week. The minimum is 10 hours/week.

A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) is a professional who designs and oversees the clients’ specific treatment plans, while an RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) and BT (Behavior Technician) work directly with the clients to implement those plans under the supervision of a BCBA. A BT is not yet registered and is usually still in the process of obtaining the RBT certification.
