Insurance Coverage for Autism
Insurance Coverage for Autism
The Autism Insurance Reform movement in Utah is ramping UP to achieve coverage forchildren in our state this year, we need everyone’s help!
Volunteers in four other states – Arizona, Florida, Louisiana and Pennsylvania have been able to achieve insurance coverage for their children this year! A total of SEVEN states now meet standards of appropriate coverage, ending autism insurance discrimination and covering treatments and therapies that are medically necessary for our children such as speech, occupational therapy, and applied behavior analysis therapy.
