Does Orchid Academy accept Personify Health for ABA therapy?

Yes. Personify Health is on Orchid's confirmed accepted carrier list. Because each Personify plan is designed by an employer, intake verifies your plan's ABA benefit, network, and approval requirements before services begin.

Is Personify Health an insurance company?

Not in the usual sense. Personify Health is a third-party administrator. It handles claims, member services, and related programs for employers that fund their own health plans. The employer pays the claims and decides the benefits, including whether ABA is covered.

My card says HealthComp. Is that the same as Personify Health?

Yes. HealthComp, a health plan administrator, merged with Virgin Pulse in November 2023, and the combined company took the Personify Health name in February 2024. Some plan materials still use the older name. Tell intake what your card says and we'll check the plan behind it.

Does Washington's autism coverage law apply to my Personify plan?

Usually not directly. Personify plans are typically self-funded employer plans, which are governed by federal law rather than Washington insurance law. Federal parity rules still apply to most plans with more than 50 employees, but they don't require a plan to cover ABA. Your Summary Plan Description is the place to check.

What phone number do I call to check ABA benefits?

Use the number on the back of your health plan ID card. Some Personify plans list separate numbers for behavioral health or for prior authorization, so check the card for those too. Write down the date, the representative's name, and the call reference number.

Can I use a Personify plan for in-home ABA or an Issaquah academy?

Often, if your plan covers ABA and Orchid is in its network for that setting. Orchid offers academy care in Issaquah and East Wenatchee and in-home programs in Bellevue, Bothell, and Sammamish. Ask intake to check your plan for the exact program and address.

Ask about ABA with Personify Health

Insurance information from Orchid Academy. Plan guidance checked October 7, 2026; your plan documents determine your benefits.

Does Personify Health cover ABA therapy?

It depends on your employer's plan, not on Personify. Personify Health is a third-party administrator (TPA). It processes claims and runs member services for employers that pay their own employees' health costs, which are called self-funded or self-insured plans. The employer decides what the plan covers, including whether ABA for autism is a benefit, how many hours, and what approvals are needed.

We could not find a public Personify Health ABA policy, so this page doesn't state approval rules. The answer for your family is in your plan's Summary Plan Description (SPD). Ask HR or Personify member services for a copy, then look for the sections on autism, behavioral health, applied behavior analysis, and exclusions.

Does the plan cover ABA for autism, and are there age, hour, or visit limits?
Do the ABA assessment and treatment each need prior authorization, and who reviews them?
Which provider network does the plan use, and is Orchid in it for the location you want?

Why Washington's ABA rules may not apply to a Personify plan

Washington's insurance laws, including the parity rules that cover ABA on state-regulated plans, apply to insurance companies. Self-funded employer plans are governed by federal law instead. The U.S. Department of Labor says self-insured private plans "are not subject to State health insurance laws," and the Washington Insurance Commissioner says plainly that it does not regulate self-funded plans.

Federal mental health parity law still applies to most of these plans. If a plan with more than 50 employees covers mental health care, it can't put stricter limits on that care than on comparable medical care. Parity is not an ABA mandate, though. An employer plan can still exclude ABA, which is why the plan document matters more than any general rule.

If you have a problem with a self-funded plan, the Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration is the agency to contact. Its Seattle office number is 866-444-3272.

Approval and appeal timelines for Personify-administered plans

Because these are federal (ERISA) plans, the federal claims rule sets the clock. For a request that needs approval before care, such as ABA treatment hours, the plan generally has 15 days to decide, with one 15-day extension if it tells you why. Urgent requests get 72 hours.

If the plan denies or reduces ABA, you have at least 180 days to file an internal appeal, and the plan generally decides a pre-service appeal within 30 days. When the denial turns on medical necessity, you can then ask for an external review by an independent reviewer. You have four months to request it, and the reviewer decides within 45 days, or 72 hours when the review is expedited.

Keep the denial letter, your plan document, and the treatment plan together. Orchid's team can supply the clinical records an appeal needs.
