What You Need to Know About Autism, Health Insurance, and Mental Health Parity Law
In some states and at the federal level, multiple laws offer significant benefits to individuals with autism seeking insurance coverage for evidence-based care. One such law is the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, which passed Congress in 2008 but is only recently seeing enhanced enforcement for people with disabilities. Join us for a practical legal discussion tailored for the autism community on the protections offered by mental health parity laws. Learn what insurance practices are prohibited and what you should do if you encounter such prohibited practices. This is a webinar sponsored by AUCD's Autism Special Interest Group for Autism Acceptance Month.
