Insurance and Fees
Insurances Accepted
FirstSteps Autism Evaluations, LLC accepts all New Mexico Medicaid/Centennial Care plans:
Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Medicaid/Centennial Care)
New Mexico Medicaid
Presbyterian (Medicaid/Centennial Care)
Western Sky Community Centennial Care
If your child is covered by a Medicaid/Centennial Care plan, there will be no cost to you for evaluation services.
FirstSteps Autism Evaluations, LLC is out of network for all commercial insurance plans. If your child is not covered by a Medicaid/Centennial Care plan, you will be considered "self-pay" and will be responsible for the full cost of evaluation services.
Evaluation Fees for Self-Pay
Self-pay pricing at FirstSteps ranges from $2500 to $3000 for evaluation. Although self-pay is an option for families who do not have a Medicaid/Centennial Care plan, we strongly encourage families to work with a provider that is in-network for their child. UNMH ECEP receives state funding and therefore is able to accept all insurances, with no cost to families for evaluation. To be redirected to their evaluation page, click here: UNMH ECEP. You are also welcome to contact our office and we are happy to provide you with information regarding additional providers who accept most commercial insurance plans for autism evaluation.
