| Autism Insurance Questions/Concerns | |

Last December, Karen May, 58th Congressional district IL, was thrilled to have legislation signed into law that provided for insurance coverage of autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and treatment. However, as is often the case, follow-up is needed to make sure that the law is being implemented as intended.
After hearing reports from constituents that insurance companies are claiming ignorance of the new law, and giving enrollees much run around about implementation, May brought the matter to the consumer fraud division of the Attorney General's office and to the Department of Insurance. Both offices will investigate if citizens file reports. Karen May urges you to call the Attorney General's Health Care Helpline: 1-877-305-5145 and the Department of Insurance Consumer line: 1-877-527-9431.
Karen May is committed to making sure families receive such much-needed services for their autistic children so that each child can achieve his or her potential.
I served on the Highland Park City Council with Karen in 1999-2000.
