Insurance Companies in New Hampshire are Now Mandated to Cover ABA Therapy for the Treatment of Autism
Autism advocacy groups applauded Governor John Lynch when he enacted Connor’s Law (HB 569) in July 2010. Starting on January 1, 2011, the bill requires that New Hampshire’s insurance companies cover the costs of ABA therapy to treat autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).
While insurance regulations in many states specifically exclude ABA coverage, New Hampshire’s law mandates coverage up to $36,000 a year for children 12 years old and younger and $27,000 for youths aged 13 to 21 with ASDs.
Hundreds of studies have shown that ABA treatment can dramatically increase the abilities of children with ASDs to function in society and even attend school. However, the cost of this treatment was devastating to many families with autistic children.
This legislative change also increases opportunities for ABAs in the private sector and enhances the value of the BCBA® credential. ABA therapy is not eligible for coverage unless it is provided by a BCBA® or a therapist who is supervised by a board-certified ABA.
