Measure for Insurance Coverage for Autism Advances in WV Senate - WHSV

Posted:

West Virginia would require insurance coverage for children with autism, but within limits, under a measure advancing in the state Senate.

A Senate Finance subcommittee has agreed to the annual benefit caps proposed in the bill when it passed the House last month. The
subcommittee amended the bill so benefits would not start until age two.

The subcommittee also exempted health plans for employers with 25 or fewer workers. It would otherwise require private and public
insurers to pay for applied behavioral analysis.

This ABA therapy is considered crucial for children with autism spectrum disorder. But insurers warn that mandating such coverage will increase costs.

The bill advances to the full committee. The session ends midnight Saturday.
