New Texas Law Eliminates Age Caps for Autism Treatment; Teach Me LLC in Dallas Texas is Leading the Way to Meeting the Needs of Children and Adults with Autism
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) August 13, 2013 -- Last month, Texas Governor Rick Perry signed legislation expanding autism insurance benefits. The new law eliminates the age 9 cap for services for state regulated health plans, but limits ABA benefits to $36,000 a year for individuals affected by autism ages 10 and above. Set to take effect September 2013, Children must be medically diagnosed by age 10 to receive coverage.
