Conn. Senate endorses autism insurance coverage

HARTFORD, Conn._The Connecticut Senate has endorsed legislation requiring group health insurance plans to cover diagnosing and treating autism in young children.

The state Senate approved the measure unanimously Friday, sending it to the state House.

Its supporters say it is unfair for families to pay hefty insurance premiums, yet be denied coverage for autism spectrum disorders.

It can cost thousands of dollars to diagnose a child with autism spectrum disorders, and much more for treatment. The bill is expected to affect tens of thousands of Connecticut children.

At least 10 other states have enacted similar legislation.
