The California Department of Insurance has declared autism a "public health crisis" and proposed emergency regulations that would greatly expand and simplify your loved one's access to ABA treatment. But these new rules won't become law unless the state can prove its case before an administrative law judge.
You can help by submitting public comments. Explain how your experiences accessing ABA care under the state's 2011 autism insurance reform law may have been hindered and how that has negatively affected your family.
Hurry! Your comments must be submitted by Tuesday March 5. Take action this weekend.
Here is How YOU Can Help:
1) SEND YOUR COMMENTS TO THE STATE
Email your comments to the California Office of Administrative Law at staff@oal.ca.gov AND A COPY to the Department of Insurance at teekellg@insurance.ca.gov
Be sure to identify the subject of your comments as the "Department of Insurance's emergency regulations on mental health parity."
You should also list the agency's file number for these regulations: ER-2013-00001.
2) SPREAD THE WORD!
Forward this email to people you know who live in California and ask them to help! The more comments, the stronger our case will be.
Remember: The deadline is Tuesday! Act this weekend!
And mark your calendars for April 17. There's a Capitol Rally for Autism in the works!
