After another year of watching another set of bills mandating that insurers cover children with autism fail to become law, a Virginia agents’ group is considering a summit on the matter to try and find a solution.

A bill mandating that insurers cover the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder was tabled by a Virginia House subcommittee nearly a week after it passed in the state Senate, effectively killing the legislation.

Legislation mandating insurers to cover the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder in children ages 2 to 6 has passed the Virginia Senate and will move to the House of Delegates.

The full Virginia Senate is expected to discuss a bill today (Feb. 16) mandating that insurers cover the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder, after the measure was approved by one of its committees.
