Summary
Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. In provisions amending the Illinois Insurance Code, provides that "diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder" includes one or more tests, evaluations, and assessments to diagnose whether an individual has autism spectrum disorder that are prescribed, performed, or ordered by a licensed speech-language pathologist with expertise in diagnosing autism spectrum disorders in children under age 3 (rather than by a licensed speech-language pathologist with expertise in diagnosing autism spectrum disorders). In provisions amending the Illinois Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Practice Act, makes changes to the requirements necessary for a speech-language pathologist to diagnose autism spectrum disorders. In provisions amending the Illinois Public Aid Code, provides that treatment of autism spectrum disorders through applied behavior analysis shall be covered under the medical assistance program for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder when ordered by a speech-language pathologist licensed by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation so long as the diagnosis by the speech-language pathologist occurs as part of the Illinois Early Intervention Program (rather than covering treatment by applied behavior analysis for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder by a speech-language pathologist licensed by the Department). Effective immediately.
