Hmmm, you may want to contact your local ERISSA office or the HR person.

Fully funded policies have stipulations that if there isn’t an in network

provider within XX radius (I’m not sure, but I think it’s 30 miles or

something like that—if anyone else knows please jump in), then they must pay

a closer out of network provider at in network rates.

The significant problems we have cannot be solved

at the same level of thinking with which we created them.

Yes, my husband works for Microsoft and their self-funded BC/BS

policy pays for 80% of all ABA costs, up to some (relatively high)

lifetime maximum number of visits. The catch for us is that there

are only certain ABA providers they cover. New providers can get

covered, but my understanding is the paperwork is extremely lengthy

and tedious, so most don't want to do it. In our case, we live in

Olympia, WA (less than a month and we'll be in Austin, finally!) and

all the providers they cover are up in the Seattle area - too far

away to be useful to us.
