I just learned about an upcoming free seminar that I’m very interested in attending, and I wanted to pass it along to anyone else who could benefit from it. Trumpet Behavioral Health is hosting a seminar about the Colorado Health Insurance Mandated Autism Treatment (HIMAT) Law. I don’t know much about it, and it seems like most of the parents of kids with autism that I talk to don’t know a whole lot about it either. I’m excited to learn more.
WHAT:
In this free seminar, parents will get help understanding how to secure insurance coverage in Colorado for behavior, speech and occupational therapy for a child with autism. This seminar will provide important information about the new Colorado Health Insurance Mandated Autism Treatment (HIMAT) Law.During the event, Trumpet Behavioral Health will provide FREE childcare and fun activities for children with autism and their siblings provided by experienced behavior therapists.
Topics will include:
Overview of HIMAT Law for Colorado autism treatment.
What autism treatment services are covered under Colorado’s insurance mandate.
Who it applies to.
How to find out if your child is eligible.
How to maximize your insurance benefits for your child’s autism treatment.
How to talk to your employer and your insurance provider about your rights to coverage.
Under HIMAT, insurance coverage for a child’s Colorado autism treatment now allows for up to $34,000 per year of behavioral therapies. Parents can learn how to maximize their benefits, meet other parents, enjoy light refreshments and get answers while our expert staff provides childcare and fun activities for your kids.WHEN:

Thanks for the information provided. I shall certainly spread this information so that parents who have kids suffering from autism can get some help. I know how difficult it is for these parents. I think such seminars help the parents financially and also help them understand how to help their kids.
