The link below goes to a story about Feda- a mother of a child who is severely affected by Autism- who has taken on Kaiser through an Independent Medical Review and was granted her requested treatments.
Please read the article and watch the videos. It seems that the crux of the question as to whether an insurance company covers items such as ABA therapy, speech pathology or occupational therapy is whether those services are deemed as "educational" or "medical".

One step forward, Two steps back
So the wonderful speech therapist our FRC found is not covered by our insurance and we simply cannot afford to pay for it out of pocket. It breaks my heart that Little Bug's learning is based on how much we make.
Someone suggested that we look into Disability for Little Bug to cover the cost of therapy. We did their online survey and we make too much money. Talk about a rock and a hard place. I imagine this is the theme for a lot of families dealing with Autism.
We received his goals for Play Therapy and they are quite lofty. It makes my heart race to think how we are going to help him accomplish this. He is a brilliant kid and I know that he can do it.
