Congratulations to NH advocates for persuading our legislature to end insurance discrimation against individuals who experience an autism spectrum disorder.
As you know these are difficult times economically and politically. A bill to rescind Connor's Law was introduced in the last legislative session. It was retained for study in a subcommittee of the House but is likely to re-emerge in fall, 2011.

Autism Insurance Reform
As many have learned, securing the benefits required under Connor's Law is still difficult. Moreover, several important and large segments of the health insurance market are not subject to the very reasonable and evidence-based treatment protocols outlined in NH's mental health parity law and Connor's Law.
In short, there remains a great deal of work to be done if we are going to secure full and fair coverage for the treatment of ASD for all NH children.
Please see the attached Q & A for answers to your questions about the implementation of Connor's Law. Link here.
And thank you for all you do each day.
Yours,
