We need S6123, Real Insurance Reform

Despite changes published with morning in an amended bill, S7000a still

does not provide any assurances to New York families dealing with autism that

they will be able to get the insurance coverage that we already pay for

but are denied by our insurance companies. Senate Bill 6123 is still a far

better bill that explicitly states what services health insurers will have

to provide.

 

The Senate is hearing us please keep up the phone calls to the Senate

Insurance Committee.

 

And click on the Take Action link to send an email to your Legislators to

Support S6123 and A6888, the real autism insurance reform bills.

 

Here are the main problems with S7000a

 

* It removes the anti-discrimination language we had put into law in

2000

 

* It is very vague and may even allow insurance companies to stop

providing occupational therapy, physical therapy and other healthcare.

 

* It creates a four agency regulatory process that has no timelines,

no appeals process, no participation of stakeholders

 

* It offers nothing to the growing number of adults with autism

 

Politely ask them to table S7000A and pass S6123.
