These individuals and their families often face considerable expenses that are not covered by their health insurance due to certain inequalities in the state’s systems. In order to correct this issue, House members from both parties have now introduced House Bill 498, which would require private insurers as well as the North Carolina State Health Plan to cover the costs associated with autism’s diagnosis as well as its treatment.

There are currently thirty two states that require autism to be covered by health insurance.

Previously, this would have been available only within specific corporations and through the TRICARE coverage program froHealth Insurance Autismm the federal government.

There are forty sponsors of HB 498 in the House. Each feels that this is an extremely important step forward in making sure that families in North Carolina with a member who has autism will be able to access the health insurance they need to cover the treatment of the condition.
