Guest guest Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 There is no insurance law...a PPO plan seems to be the best because it gives you out of network coverage for many of the therapies you might choose for your child. It's best to call your insurance company to see in advanced whether they will cover a therapy. Hi~Can anyone tell me what the law is called that is supposed to start covering therapies for our kids.
