Study Mandated: Insurance Coverage for Dyspraxia and Developmental Coordination Disorder.
This Act mandates a comprehensive study on the extent to which health insurance plans (private and public, including Medicare and Medicaid) cover the costs of treating dyspraxia and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). The goal is to identify gaps in the current system, such as age cutoffs or lack of providers, to inform future legislative efforts aimed at improving access to necessary care for citizens.
Key points
The government is required to conduct a detailed study on how health insurance covers dyspraxia/DCD therapies and services.
The report will investigate whether adults lose coverage if their diagnosis no longer meets childhood criteria.
The study must provide Congress with recommendations on how to improve the availability and quality of insurance coverage for these disorders.
