Human services: medical services; coverage for diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders and treatment of autism spectrum disorders; require. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 109u.

This bill amends Michigan's social welfare act to remove age limits for medical assistance coverage related to autism spectrum disorders. It requires the state department to provide funding for diagnosis and treatment services for eligible individuals who are 21 years of age or older. The legislation defines autism spectrum disorders to include autistic disorder, Asperger's disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified. Additionally, the bill mandates that the department seek necessary federal approval to include these services in the state's Medicaid plan within 180 days of the law taking effect.
