Learn MoreUnderstanding CDE Requirements for Insurance & ABA Services
If your child has received a potential autism diagnosis and your family is pursuing ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy, securing a proper Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation (CDE) is the critical first step — and the details matter enormously.
Insurance companies, including all forms of Florida Medicaid, require specific components within a CDE before they will approve ABA services. Unfortunately, many families experience delays or outright denials because their initial evaluation was incomplete or signed by an unqualified provider — forcing them to start the entire process over.
At PsychEd Solutions, every Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation is thorough, insurance-compliant, and completed with the urgency your family deserves. We serve families through private pay, Florida Medicaid, and multiple commercial insurance plans — and our reports consistently meet the standards required by insurers for ABA service approval.
Contact us to confirm your insurance coverage, ask about our evaluation timeline, and get your child on the path to services without unnecessary delays.
