Rendell Signs Autism Insurance Bill
posted 8:56 am Thu July 10, 2008 - Harrisburg, Pa.
Parents of autistic children will be able to pay for behavioral therapy and related services with private health insurance starting next year under legislation Gov. Ed Rendell signed Wednesday.
The bill requires insurers to provide up to $36,000 in coverage initially for autism therapy for people under 21, and the state's Medicaid program would pay for any costs that exceed that cap.
Businesses with 51 or more employees would have to offer the coverage starting July 1, 2009.
