Insurance Coverage
Filed under: General
Posted by: @ 10:14 am

According to BC/BS on January 1, 2010 the Federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPA) will be enforced in the state of Georgia.  The impact of this act may be of interest to individuals with developmental learning disabilities such as dyslexia and dysgraphia.  Although the dust is still settling our understanding is that employers  insuring 51 or more employees who offers those employees both medical and mental health benefits will now, in most cases, have to provide parity in coverage between medical and mental benefits.  That may mean that dyslexia testing and therapy may now be covered by your policy.  It would be prudent to investigate these matters with you insurer.  If you require specific insurance codes please feel free to contact us at any time at http://www.rwiga.org/.
