Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Acorn Health - Knoxville
Where does therapy take place?
Sessions are offered in the center and at school or in the community. The right mix depends on your child's goals and your family's schedule, and it is something to talk through at intake.
What insurance is accepted?
Accepted plans include Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, CHAMPVA, Cigna, and Optum. TennCare and Tennessee Medicaid plans are accepted. Coverage varies by plan, so benefits are verified before services start and you will know your expected cost up front.
What ages do you work with?
Services are offered for preschool and school-age children, and older children and teens are served as well. Earlier is generally better, but it is not too late to start if your child is already in school.
Do we need a diagnosis before we start?
Most insurance plans require an autism diagnosis and a referral for ABA before they will authorize services. If you do not have one yet, call anyway and the team can point you toward evaluation options in the area.
How do we get started?
The first step is a phone call or an inquiry through this page. From there the team checks your insurance benefits, schedules an assessment, and builds a plan with you before therapy hours begin.
What areas do you serve?
Families come from across Knoxville and the surrounding East Tennessee communities.

Goals may address communication, social skills, academics, memory, focus, and daily living. Caregiver involvement helps connect those goals with home routines. Our Knoxville location is at 10133 Sherrill Boulevard, Suite 220.
Autism Breakthrough of Knoxville
Autism Breakthrough of Knoxville is the nonprofit arm of Breakthrough Corporation. The work is built for the long term, well beyond a single ABA clinic visit. Programs include recreation and respite, community employment and liaison services, transitional housing through Anchor, community and independent living, physical therapy, social skills groups, and technology supports such as driving simulation. Families using Tennessee Medicaid waivers or Employment and Community First CHOICES can match a service line to a family member's age and funding source. The organization fits when the need is residential, vocational, or community-based disability support in East Tennessee, not only hourly early-intervention ABA.
