Several Region 1 states have enacted legislation relating to the use of private insurance for Part C services.
Massachusetts
Massachusetts mandates that both indemnity and managed care plans cover $3,200 in early intervention services each year. Acrobat file downloads of these documents are available:
Connecticut requires coverage of Part C services up to $5,000 annually and exempt these costs from counting against any lifetime caps in a family's policy.
New York requires insurers to reimburse early intervention services if they are otherwise covered under a policy and exempts these payments from counting against any lifetime caps.
There are comprehensive programs throughout Connecticut that have been approved by the Birth to Three System to complete eligibility evaluations, and provide services and supports for families.
