Cigna, HealthNet Agree To Cover Autism Therapies

On Monday, California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones (D) announced settlement agreements with Cigna and HealthNet to guarantee coverage and access to specialized therapy for people with autism. The settlements stem from a dispute over the insurers' complianceÂ with the state's Mental Health Parity Law, which mandates coverage of medically necessary behavioral therapies.
