![You often hear about insurance companies being hard to deal with, and covering therapy for autistic kids is no exception. We’ve had to jump through a few holes in the past, but this latest one takes the cake. We switched insurance companies on February 1st and they wouldn’t cover Charlie’s therapy unless he got another autism diagnosis! Apparently his previous diagnosis of the lifelong autism spectrum disorder wasn’t recent enough for them.
Anyway, we got lucky and were able to switch his existing check-up for a testing appointment on the 13th. Without that, Charlie could’ve been left without the therapy he needs for months while we waited for an appointment.
It’s not ideal, and I’m upset, but it could have been a lot worse. We got extremely lucky. So thank you to his developmental pediatrician and the therapy center who worked that out for us.
To everyone who’s been through this, you’re not alone. It sucks—I get it. something you can always do is tell the doctor that you were literally on call anytime, any day, and you’ll come in at the drop of a hat to take the place of a cancellation. I hope y’all as fortunate as we are when figuring out a way around insurance hurdles. 💕 [more in stories]](http://scontent-frt3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/e35/c98.0.1244.1244a/s320x320/84336408_620539495375207_7136195876578906094_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-frt3-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=107&_nc_ohc=XHvnpg6m1uMAX80KB7u&oh=a5dca92d97a19df08ef17215aa2a0dc6&oe=5EC83489 "You often hear about insurance companies being hard to deal with, and covering therapy for autistic kids is no exception.
