Florida Mandates Autism Coverage
April 2009
Changes in service delivery and an increase in requests for services
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Florida Gov. Charlie Crist signed legislation in 2009 that requires insurance companies to pay for diagnosis and treatment costs for children diagnosed with Autism for up to $36,000 annually with a lifetime cap of $200,000.
Many people and clinicians still are unaware of this law.
Under the Window of Opportunity Act, SB 2654, major insurance companies that operate in the state of Florida, and companies with more than 50 employees, will be required to offer coverage for autism-related disorders.
The mandate takes effect in 2010.
The legislation also calls on insurance companies to enhance consumer awareness of the benefits.
