It is about time. Just think of how many kids are on Medicaid that can now be covered under the family insurance plane. Could save the state budget a little!

while i am happy that there will finanlly be coverage for individuals with autism (and no, i do not have any children with this diagnosis), i do believe that giving this diagnosis "free reign" to just be paid vs being able to review for medical necessity is going to really hurt insurance companies and ultimately those who pay for insurance. a minimum of $50000 is huge.....no other diagnosis/illness is just "paid out".

All i can say is everyone that has health insurance HOLD ON TO YOUR WALLETS, if Insurers cover Autism they should be made to cover All Pre existing conditions period
