Show Notes
Families of autistic children in Arizona are fighting to keep vital therapies amidst issues with the states Medicaid program, AHCCCS. Two major ABA providers, Centria Healthcare and Action Behavior Centers, had their contracts ended by managed care groups, leading to a shortage of in-network options. Parents share emotional stories of their childrens progress and warn of potential setbacks from switching providers. Lawsuits have been filed, and families are demanding guaranteed nearby care. Despite efforts to help families switch, only a few dozen out of hundreds have successfully done so, with more coverage ending by late March.
