OT: does removing diagnosis get you health coverage???

[Guest guest]

The thread about whether or not the have the eval to remove the ASD Dx

has me thinking.

My son is uninsurable because of his Autism Diagnosis (we are privately

insured because husband is self-employed). Like Dana mentioned, would

having a prior Dx or Autism make you uninsurable, too?

Anyone able to get their child health care coverage that once was

denied simply because the Dx was removed?

Autism isn't like cancer, diabetes and such; they can't tell us there

is a risk of another occurrance or even a risk of other health

problems. Do they qualify ASD as a mental illness, insurance speaking,

or a physical illness? A developmental disorder? Are all

developmental delays a cause to deny insurance later in life after

you've overcome them?

What a mess.
