I understand that Colorado now has insurance law that mandates coverage of autism treatment. Why is my insurance company not paying for it? |

It is likely that your health insurance is regulated by Federal ERISA Law (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) and not by State of Colorado health insurance law. Or, the plan may be regulated by another state’s health insurance law. The legislation that created opportunities for the coverage of autism treatment (SB 09-244) is specific only to health insurance plans under Colorado’s jurisdiction. Contact your employer’s benefits manager to find out what kind of health plan your company has. If your plan is a Colorado regulated insurance company you will be able to utilize the state insurance commission for information and assistance regarding your rights with your plan.
