one in 31 children has autism in the US? To better connect our Healthy Connections Medicaid members to autism services, we have updated our autism spectrum disorder (ASD) policy. Doctors can now screen, diagnose and refer their patients to autism services. This includes applied behavior analysis therapy. Ask your doctor about any questions related to autism. Members should also check with their provider about referrals to ASD services while waiting on an autism confirmation.
