Caring for A Loved One
with Autism or Other Developmental Disability
Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy
If you are enrolled in a U.S. Pfizer Medical Plan, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services are available with pre-authorization through the Plan’s mental health coverage. Regardless of whether your ABA provider is in-network or out-of-network, contact your medical plan administrator to pre-authorize services for the covered family member who has already been diagnosed with an autism.
Contact your medical plan administrator.
