Is your child still covered?
The recent shift of Behavior Analysis (BA) therapies into the Statewide Medicaid Managed Care (SMMC) program in Florida presents significant implications for families seeking these vital services for their children. If your child is enrolled in managed care, it is crucial to understand that their BA provider must now be “in-network” with their specific managed care plan. This change emphasizes the need for parents to carefully review and verify their insurance coverage, ensuring that their current providers meet these requirements.
This transition could impact access to necessary therapies, potentially disrupting continuity of care. Families may find themselves needing to navigate a new landscape of providers and insurance stipulations, which can be daunting. However, it also represents an opportunity for parents to advocate more effectively for their children by exploring in-network options and connecting with providers who are fully integrated into the SMMC framework.
Don’t wait until it’s too late—take proactive steps now to familiarize yourself with your child’s plan and available BA providers. By doing so, you can ensure that your child continues receiving the essential support they need without unnecessary interruptions or delays in treatment.
