Forta Health

Forta Health is a provider of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. It operates two care models: Virtual ABA, delivered by board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) and registered behavior technicians (RBTs) over secure video across 43 US states, and In-Home ABA, in which a dedicated RBT works with the child in person under BCBA supervision, initially available in Houston and other select cities. Both models are structured around active parent participation in each session, with families expected to commit to roughly 10-15 hours per week of therapy depending on the program.

The company positions itself against the long waitlists and clinic travel associated with conventional ABA delivery, stating that families can begin therapy within 90 days compared with the 6-18 month waits it says families encounter elsewhere. Intake proceeds through eligibility screening (about a five-minute application plus a consultation, typically within 24-48 hours), clinical intake and insurance authorization (two to four weeks), a BCBA assessment and individualized treatment plan (four to six weeks), and the start of therapy. Admission requires a formal ASD diagnosis (referenced as ICD code F84.0) from a child psychologist, pediatric neurologist, or developmental pediatrician, and an accepted insurance policy.

Forta cites internal outcome figures including an 87% overall goal success rate, a 127% improvement in the first 20 weeks, and a 2x increase in treatment utilization, referencing an April 2024 publication on family-centric applied behavior analysis. It also publishes verified Trustpilot reviews from participating families, with a TrustScore of 4.1.

Business model

Forta Health delivers clinician-provided ABA therapy services directly to families, with care furnished by employed or contracted BCBAs and RBTs via telehealth and in-home visits. The company also runs parent-facing educational content such as webinars (for example an IEP refresher course) and accepts patient referrals from other providers.

Services are billed to health insurance. Forta states it accepts more than 300 private insurance and Medicaid policies across the states it serves, and that for most Medicaid families ABA therapy is covered with no out-of-pocket cost; coverage and cost-sharing vary by state and plan, and the company verifies expected cost before treatment begins.
