AIM BIO:

AIM is comprised of over 1400 (up from 900) residents of Michigan who have pledged their support in passing the autism insurance legislation in Michigan. The sole aim of AIM is to pass autism insurance legislation in Michigan with the help of those 1400+ members.

AIM Position Statement

1. It is our position that legislation should be passed in the state of Michigan that will require insurance companies to cover diagnosis, treatment, and services for all people wiht Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

2. It is our position that all people with ASD should be covered, regardless of age.

3. It is our position that Autism Spectrum Disorder is defined as any of the pervasive developmental disorders as defined byt he most recent edition of the DSM.

4. It is our position that this coverage should include treatments as prescribed or ordered by the insured's treating physician or psychologist and that no insurer may deny coverage for an individual based solely on the fact that the individual is diagnosed with an ASD.

5. It is our position that covered treatments shall not be subject to visit limits.

6. It is our position that there should be a provision for an expedited arbitration process if an insurance company denies coverage or changes coverage status.

7. It is also our position that coverage should not be construed as limiting access to benefits or other services that are otherwise available to an individual.
