New Health insurance options coming to NH's Healthcare Exchange in 2015

8/21/2014

1 Comment

 
Recent news releases from the NH Department of Insurance as well as others have announced several new options that have been recommend to CMS for next year's NH Healthcare Exchange.  The link below announces Assurant Health specifically but others that were just confirmed with the DOI are Anthem BCBS NH, Harvard Pilgrim, Minute Men, Assurant Health and Maine Community Health.  They are awaiting confirmation from CMS Federally for inclusion.  

I've seen announcements from Anthem that service limits for ABA Therapy have been removed but have not yet been able to access details surrounding the other plans.  I wrote to our Insurance Commissioner recently regarding Harvard Pilgrim's current dollar cap for ABA but was unable to identify the details of the plan that has already been recommended for inclusion.  You can see a copy of my letter below.  Note that Dan Unumb of Autism Speaks has been a great help in these efforts so be sure to get out on September 28th for the Northern New England Walk NOW for Autism at SNHU in Manchester.  Without their help we probably would not have seen the dramatic shift towards support for ABA in NH this year. ~Tim Heald

This blog just made my night. My daughter who is 4 with PDD NOS needs ABA therapy and my self funded health plan just denied coverage and her appeal was denied, although they approved therapy for her last year. Any how to know that we can get coverage through ACA January 2015 with prescribed hours of ABA coverage and not based on a predetermined amount of hours is the best news! thank you for your updates:))

Testimonial

"I've worked with Constellations Behavioral Services for years and had great outcomes as a result of their work. In my experience every case is unique, and a blanket program approach does not work well. Constellations customizes their approach to suit each student individually and our kids respond really well as a result. The recommendations from their team have added a much needed layer to our school's team."

How Can ABA Help?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is one of the most highly recommended, scientifically proven treatments for children with autism or other developmental delays. It’s been endorsed by a wide range of state and federal agencies including The American Academy of Pediatrics, National Academies of Science, The National Institute of Child Health & Human Development and the U.S. Surgeon General.
