(KANSAS CITY) - COLUMBIA | Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon called Thursday for mandatory insurance coverage for autism, saying the legislation can’t wait any longer.
A bill requiring coverage of autism treatments breezed through the state Senate but failed in the House earlier this year.
“A bill that guarantees that insurance providers will cover the most effective treatments for autism must pass this (upcoming) legislative session, and it must include substantial provisions that make real differences for real families,” Nixon said in an appearance at an autism clinic affiliated with the University of Missouri.
He also visited Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City and an autism center in St. Louis.
