Parents fight to get insurance coverage for autism therapy
March 25th, 2008From ABC News:
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano has signed a breakthrough bill into law, forcing insurance providers to cover costly Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapy for children with autism with pricetags of up to $100,000 a year per child.
The measure had been opposed by business and the insurance industry, which argued that mandates cause higher insurance premiums for all. While roughly half of the states mandate insurance coverage for autism therapy, ABA therapy has rarely if ever been covered.
