Guest guest Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I am about to change from a individual ionsurance policy to a large group policy in hopes that we will qualify for the autism insurance mandate. Does anyone know the specifics of this mandate? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hi , Here is a link to the bill: http://www.flsenate.gov/cgi-bin/view_page.pl?Tab=session & Submenu=1 & FT=D & File=sb2654er.html & Directory=session/2008/Senate/bills/billtext/html/ Please keep in mind, just because it is a large group policy does not mean it is covered. Large group policies for companies that are self-insured are excluded. Best of luck, Take care, Gillian To: deniseslist Sent: Thu, June 9, 2011 6:52:22 AMSubject: Autism Insurance Mandate I am about to change from a individual ionsurance policy to a large group policy in hopes that we will qualify for the autism insurance mandate.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 , It has to be a group insurance that is based in Florida (or any other state with an autism insurance mandate) Some companies are based in FL but the plans are written in other states that don't have a mandate and thus don't qualify. The group has to insure more than 60 people, and has to be a " fully-funded " plan and NOT a " self-funded " plan. Unfortunately, only about 15% of children with autism will actually qualify for the mandate. My husband had to switch jobs and ask all the questions before to make sure we would get it. But once you get it, they make life easier for you and most times assign a case manager to handle it. For the most part things have gone smoothly. We get 36k for any therapy that has someone with a BCBA supervisor or mental health clinician. It has been a life saver!
