To: The Minnesota State House, The Minnesota State Senate, and Governor Tim Walz
Autism is treatable and deserves insurance coverage.
Please show your support of the autism community by passing House File 181 and Senate File 314 requiring state mandated insurance policies to cover effective treatments for autism. All Minnesota children deserve this coverage so we ask that you protect public insurance funding for treatment as well.
Thank you
Thank you
Why is this important?
Therapies based on behavioral and developmental approaches effectively reduce and in some cases eliminate the symptoms of autism. Current funding for this type of therapy in MN is limited to public insurance. This coverage will come to an end if the DHS budget changes pass as currently written, leaving virtually no options for citizens of Minnesota who are living with autism. We must pass a bill currently being debated in the MN legislature requiring private insurance companies to cover treatment for autism. We must also protect coverage provided by public insurance. All Minnesota children deserve a bright future.
