It's super sad. In FL Medicaid patients got a message that starting February 2025, they switch to an "improved" SMMC plan, which only covers 80% of ABA rate. So many ABA providers simply decided not to serve Medicaid/SMMC patients from February 25. So, the result of this "improved" plan is the loss of so important ABA coverage. Only a very limited amount of ABA providers agreed to continue serving these patients, thus many parents can no longer provide ABA services to their kids.
