How Quantum Health works
Quantum Health acts as a healthcare navigator and care coordinator for employer health plans. They help members understand their benefits, coordinate care, and manage authorizations. Your underlying insurance carrier (like Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, etc.) provides the actual coverage, while Quantum Health manages the administrative process.

What Quantum Health typically covers for ABA therapy
When your plan (coordinated through Quantum Health) approves ABA therapy, coverage usually includes:
One-on-one sessions in your home where your child works on communication, behavior, social skills, and daily living skills with a trained therapist.
Structured sessions at our Fredericksburg clinic with access to specialized equipment and social learning opportunities.
Coaching and strategies to help you support your child's progress at home and after formal therapy ends.
Regular progress monitoring, treatment plan adjustments, and ongoing supervision by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
Ongoing data collection and reporting to ensure therapy is working and goals are being met.
Coverage details vary by plan, but we'll walk you through exactly what your plan includes.
How Quantum Health's authorization process works
Plans managed through Quantum Health require prior authorization before ABA therapy begins. Here's how we handle it:
What Quantum Health requires
- Autism diagnosis from a qualified provider (developmental pediatrician, psychologist, psychiatrist, or neurologist)
- Comprehensive ABA assessment and individualized treatment plan from a BCBA
- Clinical documentation demonstrating medical necessity for ABA therapy
- Authorization request submitted through Quantum Health's care coordination system
What we do
We submit all required documentation to Quantum Health, coordinate with their care navigators, track the authorization status, and respond to any requests for additional clinical information. You don't navigate their system or make follow-up calls. We handle it.
How long it takes
Plans coordinated through Quantum Health typically process prior authorization requests within 7-14 business days. We submit complete documentation upfront to minimize delays.
Authorization periods
Most plans authorize ABA therapy in 3-6 month increments based on your child's treatment plan. We track authorization dates and submit renewal requests before expiration, ensuring no gap in services.
Understanding your out-of-pocket costs with Quantum Health
Here's what members with plans coordinated through Quantum Health typically pay for ABA therapy:
Deductible
If you haven't met your annual deductible, you'll pay the contracted rate for ABA therapy until your deductible is satisfied. After that, copay or coinsurance applies.
Copay
Some plans charge a copay per therapy session (typically $15-$50 per visit depending on your plan). We'll verify your exact copay before therapy starts.
Coinsurance
Other plans charge coinsurance (usually 10-20% of the allowed amount) after you meet your deductible. We'll calculate what this means for your monthly costs.
Out-of-pocket maximum
Once you reach your plan's annual out-of-pocket maximum, your plan covers ABA therapy at 100% for the rest of the calendar year.
We explain all costs upfront. Before your child's first session, you'll know what your plan covers and what you'll owe. No surprise bills.
Working with Quantum Health's care coordination team
Quantum Health provides dedicated care coordinators to help members navigate their benefits. Here's how we work together:
We coordinate with your care navigator
Quantum Health assigns each member a personal care navigator. We work directly with your navigator to verify benefits, submit authorizations, and answer any coverage questions.
Streamlined communication
Because Quantum Health centralizes benefit coordination, you have a single point of contact for questions about your coverage. We handle the clinical documentation and authorization requests while your care navigator manages the administrative process.
Faster approvals
Quantum Health's care coordination model often leads to faster authorization approvals because communication is centralized and navigators are familiar with member benefits.
Common Quantum Health coverage questions
Does my plan through Quantum Health cover ABA therapy in Virginia?
Most likely, yes. Virginia law requires commercial health insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children with autism up to age 10 (many plans extend beyond this). We'll verify your specific plan's coverage through Quantum Health.
How many hours per week will my plan authorize?
Most plans approve 10-30 hours per week based on medical necessity and your child's individualized treatment plan. Your BCBA recommends hours, and we submit that recommendation through Quantum Health.
Do I need a referral from my pediatrician?
It depends on your specific plan. Some HMO plans require a referral for ABA therapy, while PPO plans typically don't. We'll check your plan's requirements and help you obtain any necessary referrals.
What if my authorization request is denied?
We help you appeal with additional clinical documentation from our BCBA team and your child's diagnosing provider. We work with your Quantum Health care navigator throughout the appeals process.
Does my plan cover both in-home and clinic-based therapy?
Most plans cover ABA therapy regardless of setting — your home, our clinic, your child's school, or in the community. We'll verify your specific coverage.
Will my plan cover parent training?
Yes. Parent training is typically included as part of your child's overall ABA therapy authorization.
How long does my plan continue to cover ABA therapy?
Coverage continues for as long as ABA therapy is medically necessary and your child is making progress. We submit regular progress reports and reauthorization requests to maintain coverage.
What's the difference between Quantum Health and my insurance carrier?
Quantum Health is a healthcare navigator that coordinates your benefits and manages authorizations. Your actual insurance coverage comes from your underlying carrier (like Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, etc.). Quantum Health makes it easier to access and understand your benefits.
