Pa. House passes bill to cover autism care

HARRISBURG - Private insurers would have to provide up to $36,000 in coverage annually for autism services under a bill that the Pennsylvania House passed without opposition yesterday.
The measure, sponsored by Speaker Dennis O'Brien (R., Phila.), calls for the state to pay for any treatment costs that exceed that amount.

"By ensuring better coverage of services, and therefore wider availability, this bill can help our outstanding physicians and scientists to solve the autism puzzle," O'Brien said.

The bill goes to the Senate, although a spokesman for Senate Republican Leader Dominic Pileggi of Delaware County said the chamber probably would not take up the measure before the summer recess.
