Autism Insurance Bill Moving Forward in New Jersey

Trenton, NJ (June 6, 2008) -- New Jersey has become the latest state to address autism insurance reform legislation in its statehouse.  Assembly bill 2238 and Senate Bill 1651 will include coverage for therapies such as physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and evidence-based behavioral interventions, including applied behavioral analysis and other evidence-based, medically necessary treatments.  Autism Speaks and New Jersey COSAC are working together to move these bills forward.

As the grandparent of a child with Autism I am aware of the importance of the passage of Bills A-2238 and S-1651. We know the expense leveled upon families of children with Autism, and know the help that insurance would provide could be of significant savings. Thank you for listening.
