How Many ABA Hours Does Cigna Cover?

Cigna does not cap ABA therapy hours at a fixed number. Instead, coverage is based on medical necessity, your child’s BCBA determines the recommended hours based on the severity of your child’s needs, and Cigna reviews that recommendation during the prior authorization process.

Most early intervention programs begin with 10–40 hours of therapy per week. Your BCBA will recommend the appropriate intensity for your child, and Cigna typically approves what is clinically justified.
