Iowa House committee approves bill to expand insurance coverage for Iowans with autism

A bill to expand insurance coverage for Iowans with autism has passed a House committee. If enacted, it would prevent insurance companies from limiting visits to Autism Spectrum Disorder providers and eliminate financial and age caps on coverage. This change would allow individuals like 17-year-old Brandon Lust, who has benefited from various therapies since his autism diagnosis at age four, to continue receiving necessary treatments into adulthood. The bill now moves to the House floor for further consideration.
