In November 2011, Governor Andrew Cuomo signing into law new requirements that compel health insurance companies to provide coverage for the treatment of individuals with autism. New York is the 29th state to enact such a legislation, which requires insurers to cover diagnosis and treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). This law went into effect on November 2012 and opens the door for families to obtain services that have been previously deemed medically unnecessary.
Most of our clients receive insurance reimbursement for the services provided. This varies greatly according to your plan, as well as your child’s diagnosis. Benefits for ABA services require authorization and confirmation. The list provided does not constitute automatic benefit coverage.
