AUTISM SPECTRUM-DIAGNOSIS
February 5, 2026
Summary
If enacted, this bill would expand coverage for diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder under Illinois insurance and Medicaid programs, specifically allowing speech-language pathologists to diagnose autism in children under age 3 and order applied behavior analysis therapy under the Illinois Early Intervention Program. This affects health insurers and Medicaid but does not directly impact mortgage lending or financial services.
