Services include Behavioral Specialist Consultant, Mobile Therapy, and/or Therapeutic Support Staff. Only children who receive Medical Assistance (MA) may be eligible for these services. Children may be eligible for MA if they have a mental health or educational diagnosis or disability OR if the family’s financial situation is such that they qualify for MA as their primary form of insurance.

If you have difficulties finding an agency available to work with you, call Magellan at 1-877-769-9784
