Library Item Name:

How to Get Your Insurance Company to Cover Autism Treatment 		   
Summary Statement:

Who knew it was possible to get coverage for autism treatments through ordinary insurance? The answer is Christina Peck, the author of Blessed with Autism - A Parents' Guide to Securing Financial Support for the Treatment of Children with Autism and Special Needs. Peck is a health insurance professional and the mom of a child with autism - and she has plumbed the depths of the insurance maze to find funding for autism treatments.

While Christina's book, with its detailed information and worksheets, is only available through her website, she did share information with me about the steps to take to get started on finding insurance coverage for treatments such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy and even Applied Behavior Analysis. It's also worth knowing that most of the national codes for autism-related health insurance are available, free of charge, at Insurance Help for Autism, a site dedicated to the subject (though focused largely on resources in California).
