This commentary presents an overview of the issues associated with how health plans and public Medicaid systems should share in the costs of assessing and treating children with autism across their lifespan and how school services should be integrated in an overall treatment plan for children. It also introduces the results of a study of one state's initial experience with mandated private insurance coverage for autism services.
