With the Affordable Care Act, habilitation services are now covered (to varying extents), so if you have not checked your insurance coverage recently, you may find that autism is covered.
You can google your state and see what your standards are for private insurance
We have private insurance via my husband, and his insurance was "grandfathered." His employer opted out of autism coverage, and since changing jobs is not an option, I'm not sure we have a way around it.
I have checked into the insurance portion quite a bit, and even asked the employer to opt in, but that didn't work either.
Thanks for the heads up, anyway.
