Insurance for ABA - New York

[Guest guest]

Saw the below-referenced article this morning. I found the analysis of the

actuarial cost to be very interesting.

I think some quick math of the success of ABA at lowering long-term support

costs for people with autism against 1/2 of 1 percent increase in premiums would

show a pretty significant cost-benefit ratio. I've seen estimates for the

average cost of health insurance to be around $12,000, meaning that the increase

due to covering ABA (by the way, NY's plan is for life for the individual) would

be $60 per person.
