Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Actually I heard of several self funded policies covering it. One woman I heard speak last year, her family had a self insured policy through KLM (???? Can’t exactly remember the company name) but they paid the FULL cost for the ABA program with only a $30 co-pay a month—that’s what I remember the mom saying. In fact, United Behavioral Health, which serves most self funded policies, has been interviewing local ABA clinics in Houston. So it boils down to which company is opting to carry it and which aren’t. With a self-funded policy, the decision makers are AT the company, and so are a lot more accessible than insurance executives running a fully funded program. S. The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 We have Aetna. I've not seen one penny come from AETNA, only refusals and we are self-insured. - -- In Texas-Autism-Advocacy , " Singleton " wrote: > > Actually I heard of several self funded policies covering it.
