Pennsylvania autism insurance bill may be nation’s strongest
July 29th, 2008From the Philadelphia Inquirer:
A bill signed recently by Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell will require private insurers to cover diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders, up to $36,000 annually, for those under 21. That includes coverage for applied behavioral analysis therapy.
Rendell and others who championed the issue believe Pennsylvania’s autism-insurance law is among the strongest in the country. They may be right, many autism advocates say.
Critics worry that the measure will create new problems.
