Indiana § 27-8-14.2-4

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 27: INSURANCE
• Art. 8: LIFE, ACCIDENT, AND HEALTH
• Ch. 14.2: Insurance Coverage for Pervasive Developmental

Text

(a) An accident and sickness insurance policy
that is issued on a group basis must provide coverage for the treatment
of an autism spectrum disorder of an insured. Coverage provided under
this section is limited to treatment that is prescribed by the insured's
treating physician in accordance with a treatment plan. An insurer may
not deny or refuse to issue coverage on, refuse to contract with, or
refuse to renew, refuse to reissue, or otherwise terminate or restrict
coverage on an individual under an insurance policy solely because the
individual is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
(b) The coverage required under this section may not be subject to
dollar limits, deductibles, or coinsurance provisions that are less
favorable to an insured than the dollar limits, deductibles, or
coinsurance provisions that apply to physical illness generally under
the accident and sickness insurance policy.
