Oh shit, but somehow I missed this!! As of June 10th, just one month ago...

Connecticut is now the thirteenth state in the country to enact comprehensive autism insurance reform.

The Connecticut law requires insurers to provide coverage for behavioral treatments, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, of up to $50,000 for a child who is less than nine years of age, $35,000 for a child who is at least nine years of age and less than thirteen years of age, and $25,000 for a child who is at least thirteen years of age and less than fifteen years of age. ABA therapy is recognized as an effective, evidence-based treatment for children with autism.
My insurance is headquartered out of Connecticut (which is the only thing that matters, not what state you live in.) This is me. We are now covered. Fuck, that's why my insurance suddenly started reimbursing us for the Thoughtful House claims, when I had been told awhile back I was welcome to submit the forms, but it wasn't gonna happen...

But of course, you submitted them anyway. And eventually, they started paying them. And why? because of people like you.

It wouldn't accept my address. We get that now and then. We're about to be re-addressed for 911, so maybe that'll work.

I got a "thank you" email from Autism Advocacy that ended with...
Quote:
P.S. You may receive a response from Speaker Pelosi's office about sending your message to a different email address. Please know that we are keeping on track and continuing to send these emails to her! Thanks!
I'm not sure how I'm suppose to respond if I do get that message from Pelosi?
Guess I'll worry about it, if and when, it happens.
