Guest guest Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I can't help you in picking out insurance, but I can offer this suggestion for coverage. Make sure when they code the forms, they code for what they're actually treating, ie: diarhrea, not autism. Many doctors just put the autism code down and then nothing gets covered. They're not treating autism, they're treating something specific - speech delay, muscle tone, allergies etc...make sure they diagnose and code that way.
