RE: [SPAM] New Insurance Question

[Guest guest]

Please go to the HYPERLINK " http://www.feathouston.org " www.feathouston.org

website and look for the link for documents related to HB1919. There is a

frequently asked question list on that website.

Short answer is YES. State laws to NOT apply to SELF funded plans which are

regulated by a FEDERAL law called ERISSA.

Subject: [sPAM] New Insurance Question

Hi everyone.......I am new, I need some input ASAP as a Speech Eval is

scheduled for 8:00am tomorrow !!

My grandson has a " script " from the Meyer Clinic for Speech Therapy and as

of 30 mins. ago his mother's insurance company through her employer states

they will not cover it. When advised of the new law HB 1919, she was told

they are a self insured/self managed insurance therefore that law did not

apply to them. Does anyone know is this is true ???

has two different DX on the prescription for Speech

Therapy.......one is Encephalopathy NOS (ICD 9 Code 348.3) and the other is

Autism (299.0).

Please.........is there is anyone out there that can help us with little

time to work with ??
