Lorri Unumb to Host “My Child Has Autism: How Do I Get Insurance?†Webchatby Autism Speaks

Please join us Monday Feb. 27th for our first webchat featuring the Government Relations team: “My Child Has Autism: How Do I Get Insurance?" The webchat will be hosted by Lorri Unumb, Esq., our Vice President for State Government Affairs.

Held at 8 p.m. Eastern (7 Central/6 Mountain/5 Pacific), this “office hour†will connect families looking for answers about their health insurance with Ms. Unumb, who is regarded as one of the nation's pre-eminent experts on health insurance and coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of autism. Ms. Unumb wrote groundbreaking autism insurance reform legislation enacted in her home state of South Carolina in 2007 and has since led the way for the enactment of similar laws in 27 other states. Her most recent honor was the 2012 Leadership in Advocacy Award presented by the California Association for Behavior Analysis.

Ms. Unumb welcomes your questions about how autism insurance coverage works in your state, understanding self-insured policies and the impact of the new federal health care law on autism coverage. However, the guidance provided on the webchat is not meant to substitute for the information provided by your employer's human resources department, your insurance agent or attorney.
