Interested in  insurance coverage of Autism services?

Representative L'Italien and Senator Berry have proposed legislation which would require health insurance companies to cover Autism services. 

You can review the bill here.
Please urge your Representatives and Senators support the bill.

In addition, if you feel that Spotlight has helped your child in significant ways, please advocate for it to be a service that is billable through your insurance
