HB 2389 -- Missouri Health Insurance Pool

Sponsor:  Jones (63)

This bill requires the Missouri Health Insurance Pool (MHIP) to
establish a program to allow an individual to purchase
supplemental health insurance coverage for the diagnosis and
treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) under the pool.  The
coverage must also be offered as a rider to any existing health
insurance policy offered under the pool.  Coverage must include
all care prescribed or ordered by a licensed physician or
psychologist including applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy.
The pool must determine the specific coverage for ABA and may
impose an age limitation for the therapy.  The coverage must
comply with all state and federal mandates for health insurance
coverage for ASD.
