How much of a problem do other people have with their health insurance companies? I have trouble getting my drugs approved, and my psych coverage is awful.

Unfortunatly most insurance companies do not pay for treatment related to AS very well, if at all. Doctor visits, treatments, and drugs all seem to be items they are not willing to pay for. I would love to hear if anyone else has a great insurance company that actually pays well for them...

This is a serious problem in treating ASD's as a whole, that is why I'm making my clinic a nonprofit organization so people who cannot afford it can get treatments. We will be working to bring insurance companies to the table on paying for this but it has to be done at the state legislative level first after acquiring results data that will bring insurance on board with paying for these treatments.
