  • Seven-year-old Alex Rowe, who has a rare bleeding disorder, soon will have private health insurance again.  He is among more than 5 million Americans under the age of 19 with a pre-existing medical condition who cannot be denied coverage by insurance companies beginning as early as September under a key provision of the health care reform law. Covering consumers with pre-existing health problems has long been a point of contention and figured prominently in the national health reform debate.

Law brings addiction, mental care into parity - 0 views

Mental Health insurance

shared by Roger Holt on 18 Jan 10 - Cached
  • Mental-health care for thousands of Montanans covered by group health insurance plans will be more affordable in 2010 thanks to a new federal law. Congress passed the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act in October 2008 as part of the multibillion-dollar federal bailout package. The law, which took effect Jan. 1, prevents insurance plans that cover treatment for mental illnesses and addictions from placing stricter limits on those services than on other covered services. It does not require plans to cover treatment for mental health and substance abuse.

  • A quiet decision by a federal agency this spring has generated a lot of noise this week within the autism community because of its real and potential impact on the ability of families all across America to access Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for their children. Since the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) made the case for health insurance coverage for ABA for the nation’s eight million federal employees, retirees and their dependents, reactions across the autism community have ranged from celebration to concerns over how the decision could impact existing services.

But some advocates and policy experts are concerned that insurers may find ways to sidestep the new requirement. The health law requires that individual and small group plans sold on or off the health insurance marketplaces cover 10 essential health benefits,&nbsp;including “rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices.”

  • Families who have children with chronic conditions often need to find resources to assist them in caring for their child’s needs. You may need help finding transportation to a medical visit or accessing therapy services near your home. You may want to find parent organizations or information about child care or insurance coverage. The resource search option lets you look for resources by topic. Most resources are in Washington, Alaska, Montana or Idaho but there are a few national resources available for other states.&nbsp; As you contact resources, make sure you are comfortable, know what you need, and find out about costs, their ability to work with you, within your budget or with your insurance plan.
