Insurance Coverage at Achieve ABA
We've Got You Covered
Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive - and that includes having access to the therapy they need. Navigating insurance coverage can feel overwhelming, but we're here to make the process a breeze.
Eastpointe (now Trillium) insurance coverage for ABA therapy
At Achieve ABA, we know that insurance changes can feel overwhelming when your focus is on helping your child grow. If your family was previously covered under Eastpointe, you may have heard the news: Eastpointe officially merged with Trillium Health Resources in February 2024.
The good news is that ABA therapy remains a covered benefit under Medicaid, and families can continue services without interruption.
We’re here to guide you through the transition from Eastpointe to Trillium so your child can keep building the skills they need with ABA therapy—without added stress for your family.
Understanding Eastpointe's transition to Trillium
Eastpointe was one of North Carolina’s Local Management Entities/Managed Care Organizations (LME/MCOs), serving families with behavioral health and developmental support needs. As of February 2024, Eastpointe became part of Trillium Health Resources, which now manages services for a larger region across North Carolina.
For families this means:
✓ Coverage continues: ABA therapy is still included under Medicaid through Trillium.
✔ No need to restart: Services and prior authorizations carry over into the new system.
✔ Continuity of care: Families can continue working with their current in-network ABA providers.
✔ Support is still local: Trillium now serves your county in place of Eastpointe.
What Eastpointe (now Trillium) covers for ABA therapy
With the transition to Trillium, ABA therapy coverage remains available for children with an autism spectrum diagnosis when medically necessary. Families may be eligible for:
✓ Comprehensive autism and ABA assessments
✓ One-on-one ABA therapy sessions
✓ Individualized treatment planning by a BCBA

✓ Progress reviews and updated plans
Our team will work directly with Trillium to ensure your child’s services are approved and started quickly.
