Insurance companies that cover developmental deficits.

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

It is that time of year when we must look at the health insurance options available to us. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about which insurance companies are good for getting things like vision therapy and occupational therapy covered for developmental delays or ADD.

I will say the oxford was pretty useless.

I live in Florida, and my insurance, United Healthcare, has covered vision therapy for my son. I never filed anything for OT because, although there was some coverage, I was using an out-of-network therapist and they only cover for a 60 day period. In other words, you could go every day for 60 days in 1 calendar year. Not very practical. I was too crazed at the time to deal with filing the claims because I would have had to do it myself due to the therapist I used. Good luck.
