OREGON INSURANCE DIVISION BULLETIN INS 2014-2

TO:

All Health Insurers, Health Care Service Contractors and Other Interested Persons

DATE:
November 14, 2014

SUBJECT:
Autism Spectrum Disorder; Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy

I.
Introduction
A.
Purpose of Bulletin
Today, the Oregon Insurance Division (division) issued bulletin INS 2014-1 detailing the
division’s expectations of insurers issuing coverage subject to state and federal mental health
mandates. This companion bulletin INS 2014-2 provides additional guidance to insurers about
the expectations of the division regarding health benefit plan coverage for autism spectrum
disorder (ASD) and other pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs), including the treatment
known as applied behavior analysis (ABA).

In addition to the laws described in bulletin INS 2014-1, the specific statutes related to ASD,
PDD, and ABA are:

1. ORS 743A.190 (Oregon PDD); and
2. Enrolled Senate Bill 365 (2013 Legislative Session), 2013 Oregon Laws Chapter 771 (SB
365). In addition to adding provisions to the Insurance Code, SB 365 enacted ORS
676.800, creating the Behavior Analysis Regulatory Board (BARB).
In this bulletin, ABA has the meaning defined in SB 365. References to “mandates” in this
bulletin include the Oregon Mental Health Parity (MHP), Oregon PDD, and the federal Mental
Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) as implemented under the Affordable Care
Act (ACA). If only one mandate is discussed, the bulletin specifies which mandate.
B.
Background

In 2013, the division began developing guidance to clarify whether Oregon’s Essential Health
Benefit (EHB) Benchmark plan, the PacificSource Codeduct Value plan,1 included coverage of

Act (ACA). If only one mandate is discussed, the bulletin specifies which mandate.

Benefit (EHB) Benchmark plan, the PacificSource Codeduct Value plan,1 included coverage of

ABA. After considering the current status of pending lawsuits, work group discussions before
and during the 2013 Legislative Session, and legislative history related to SB 365, the division
decided to postpone issuing this guidance until the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon
adjudicated the legal arguments in the A.F. v. Providence lawsuit.
In August, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon issued its opinion on the legal
arguments in A.F. v. Providence, a class action lawsuit challenging denial of coverage for ABA
therapy in Oregon. A number of other developments also have occurred that are consistent with
that opinion and that have assisted the division in developing this bulletin:

 Court decisions in Oregon and in other states with laws similar to ORS MHP and Oregon
PDD;
 Independent Review Organization (IRO) decisions that have repeatedly overturned
insurers’ denials of coverage for ABA;
 Health Evidence Review Commission (HERC) review and recommendation to cover
ABA therapy;
 Bulletins and rules adopted by insurance regulators in other states that address ABA
issues and statutes similar to Oregon’s statutes. These states include California, Indiana,
Washington, and New York.

A list of and citations for many of these developments is attached in Appendix A to this bulletin.

C.
Summary
The division expects insurers to comply with the following guidelines:

 An insurer must adjudicate ASD and PDD claims as mental health claims subject to state
and federal mental health parity laws
statutes. These states include California, Indiana,
Washington, and New York.

A list of and citations for many of these developments is attached in Appendix A to this bulletin.

C.
Summary
The division expects insurers to comply with the following guidelines:

 An insurer must adjudicate ASD and PDD claims as mental health claims subject to state
and federal mental health parity laws.

 An insurer may not categorically deny treatment for ABA therapy on the basis that the
treatment is experimental or investigational. Coverage decisions must be made on the
basis of individualized determinations of medical necessity and the experimental or
investigational character of the treatment in the individual case. Such determinations
must meet the requirements of federal and state law, including mental health parity
standards as set forth in INS 2014-1 and OAR 836-053-1405.

 An insurer may not apply a categorical exclusion (such as exclusions for developmental,
social or educational therapies) that results in a denial of all ABA or other medically
necessary treatment or otherwise results in the mandates being effectively meaningless
for ASD or PDDs.

 ABA therapy is a medical service for purposes of ORS 743A.190.

 Under SB 365, a provider actively practicing applied behavior analysis on August 14,
2013 (a “grandfathered provider”) may claim reimbursement from a health benefit plan
without being licensed until January 1, 2016. A grandfathered provider has that status for
any insurer and for any patient. An insurer may impose credentialing requirement on
ABA providers so long as the credentialing requirements do not prevent access to
treatment required under the mandates. An insurer is not required to contract with any
willing provider, but the insurer may not discriminate against any category of
l January 1, 2016. A grandfathered provider has that status for
any insurer and for any patient. An insurer may impose credentialing requirement on
ABA providers so long as the credentialing requirements do not prevent access to
treatment required under the mandates. An insurer is not required to contract with any
willing provider, but the insurer may not discriminate against any category of

legislatively authorized provider of ABA services and may not negate the mandate to
cover medically necessary mental health services by refusing to credential legally
qualified providers.

 The provisions of SB 365 that establish quantitative standards—the 25-hour per week
coverage standard and the nine-year old age standard—are floors, not limitations on ABA
coverage. As floors these provisions do not violate the MHPAEA. If applied as limits,
these provisions would violate MHPAEA and its regulations, unless the insurer imposed
the same limits as the predominant treatment limitation on substantially all of its medical
or surgical outpatient coverage.

D.
Related Bulletins

INS 2014-1 related to mental health parity provides general guidelines for all mental and nervous
conditions. Because ASD and PDD are mental health conditions subject to all of the mental
health laws described in bulletin INS 2014-1, all of the discussion in bulletin INS 2014-1 applies
to ASD and PDD. This bulletin describes additional considerations specific to ASD, other PDDs,
and ABA.

Discussion
A.
Applicability
The Oregon PDD statute applies to health benefit plans issued or renewed on or after January 1,
2008. This statute was incorporated by law into the policy selected by Oregon as its benchmark

II.
Discussion
A.
Applicability
The Oregon PDD statute applies to health benefit plans issued or renewed on or after January 1,
2008. This statute was incorporated by law into the policy selected by Oregon as its benchmark
plan establishing Oregon’s essential health benefits (EHB) plan under OAR 836-053-0008. The
benchmark plan, with limited exceptions, establishes the baseline requirements for all individual
and small group health benefit plans to be considered ACA-compliant (i.e., comply with all 2014
reforms, including but not limited to essential health benefits, nondiscrimination and guaranteed
issue).
SB 365 requires health benefit plans to cover screening, diagnosis, and medically necessary
treatment for ASD, including ABA therapy. It applies to commercial health benefit plans that are
issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2016. It also applies to the Public Employees’ Benefit
Board (PEBB) and the Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB) for coverage beginning on or
after January 1, 2015; both boards have decided to accelerate the effective date of ABA coverage
(PEBB to August 1, 2015, OEBB to October 1, 2015).

B.
Coverage Requirements

Under State Law:

The Oregon PDD statute requires a health benefit plan to cover, for a child enrolled in the plan
who is under 18 years of age and who has been diagnosed with a pervasive developmental
disorder, all medical services that are medically necessary and are otherwise covered under the
plan. The statute includes, as medical services, rehabilitation services defined to include physical
therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy services. Therefore, the mandate for medical
services requires at least some of both behavioral and physical services. ABA is a behavioral
service and is included among “all medical services.”
ically necessary and are otherwise covered under the
plan. The statute includes, as medical services, rehabilitation services defined to include physical
therapy, occupational therapy or speech therapy services. Therefore, the mandate for medical
services requires at least some of both behavioral and physical services. ABA is a behavioral
service and is included among “all medical services.”

SB 365 defines ASD using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth
Edition (DSM-5). As bulletin INS 2014-1 mentions, the division is adopting a rule to update the
references in OAR 836-053-1404(1)(a) to include the parallel references in DSM-5. ASD as
defined in SB 365 is a PDD under ORS 743A.190 and a “mental or nervous disorder” under
Oregon MHP.

The provisions of SB 365 that apply beginning January 1, 2016 (a year earlier for PEBB and
OEBB) are those specifically concerning procedures for management of ABA therapy. The
general requirement to cover medically necessary treatment for ASD already exists in the
Oregon MHP and Oregon PDD. Insurers should provide access to ABA under existing law
(Oregon MHP and PDD) as they would for any other treatment for a mental health condition.

Under Federal Law:

As bulletin 2014-1 summarizes, the regulations under MHPAEA prohibit quantitative treatment
limits on mental health benefits in any classification (e.g. inpatient, outpatient) that are more
restrictive than the predominant quantitative treatment limitation of that type applied to
substantially all medical benefits in the same classification. Because of this requirement, the 25-
hour per week floor for coverage of ABA therapy and the requirement to provide coverage if an
individual begins treatment before nine years of age established in SB 365, if applied as
limitations, could violate MHPAEA and therefore be prohibited
ative treatment limitation of that type applied to
substantially all medical benefits in the same classification. Because of this requirement, the 25-
hour per week floor for coverage of ABA therapy and the requirement to provide coverage if an
individual begins treatment before nine years of age established in SB 365, if applied as
limitations, could violate MHPAEA and therefore be prohibited. As stated in the preamble to the
final MHPAEA rules, the parity requirements of MHPAEA may require an insurer to provide
mental health benefits beyond the state minimum.2

C.
Exclusions or Limitations
An insurer may apply age limits to coverage of ABA therapy only in a way consistent with the
mandates. While medical necessity guidelines are helpful, the medical necessity and
experimental character of the treatment must be considered on an individualized basis for a
person of any age.

Insurers typically issue policies with broad-based treatment exclusions. Recent opinions by
courts, however, have indicated that although insurers may limit their coverage by including
broad exclusions, the scope of the exclusion must be restricted if the exclusion is inconsistent
with a statutory mandate. An insurer may not profess to include ASD and PDD coverage
required by these mandates while at the same time applying a broad exclusion that prevents the
insured from receiving medically necessary treatments for these conditions.

D.
Provider Qualifications

ORS 676.800 establishes the Behavior Analysis Regulatory Board (BARB) and sets out the
requirements for licensing and registering professionals who provide treatment for ASD using
ABA. Although SB 365 prohibits a provider who has not been licensed or registered by the
BARB from seeking reimbursement from an insurer starting in 2016, the bill recognizes the need
to allow continued services until the licensing and registration procedures are in place
Board (BARB) and sets out the
requirements for licensing and registering professionals who provide treatment for ASD using
ABA. Although SB 365 prohibits a provider who has not been licensed or registered by the
BARB from seeking reimbursement from an insurer starting in 2016, the bill recognizes the need
to allow continued services until the licensing and registration procedures are in place. As a
result, SB 365 grandfathers certain providers who were actively practicing ABA therapy on the

2 78 Federal Register at 68252.

effective date of the Act (August 14, 2013) and allows these providers to continue to claim
reimbursement without registration or licensing.

Grandfathering applies if the individual was actively practicing ABA on August 14, 2013,
whether as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Board Certified Assistant Behavior
Analyst (BCABA), a licensed health care provider, or an interventionist (paraprofessional). For
purposes of grandfathering, it is not required that the individual was being reimbursed by an
insurer on August 14, 2013, so long as he or she was actively practicing ABA at that time. The
division expects insurers to provide reimbursement to grandfathered ABA providers until
expiration of the grandfathering period on January 1, 2016. This is consistent with the intent of
SB 365 to make resources available for access to ABA that insureds might not have if limited to
BARB-licensed or certified providers.

At this time, BARB expects the ABA licensing process to be available on December 1, 2014.
After the licensing process is available, a new provider who was not actively practicing on the
effective date of SB 365 must be licensed or registered in order to be reimbursed by an insurer
ces available for access to ABA that insureds might not have if limited to
BARB-licensed or certified providers.

At this time, BARB expects the ABA licensing process to be available on December 1, 2014.
After the licensing process is available, a new provider who was not actively practicing on the
effective date of SB 365 must be licensed or registered in order to be reimbursed by an insurer.

Because the BARB is within the Oregon Health Authority’s Health Licensing Office, providers
who have been registered with or licensed by the BARB are considered to be “approved” by the
Oregon Health Authority for the purposes of ORS 743A.168(5)(a) and thus eligible for
reimbursement under Oregon MHP. Under the provider nondiscrimination provision in ACA
Section 2706(a), 42 U.S.C. § 300gg–5, insurers may not discriminate in ACA compliant plans
against ABA providers licensed by or registered with BARB. Because the grandfathering
provision is an applicable state law in lieu of licensure or certification, Section 2706(a) also
applies to grandfathered providers in ACA compliant plans.

An insurer may apply credentialing requirements to grandfathered providers so long as the
credentialing requirements do not prevent access to medically necessary treatment as mandated
by state and federal law. The division does not interpret SB 365 to require an actively practicing
ABA provider to seek reimbursement from the same insurer or for the same patient in order to
qualify under the grandfather provision.

E.
Independent Review Organizations
The division has identified 22 instances since 2008 in which insurers’ denials of ABA therapy
were overturned by an IRO. The insurers’ denials were based on determinations that the
treatment was experimental or investigational. In these instances, the determinations were
overturned by the IRO, which found that such treatment is the recognized standard of care for
autism

Insurers may not deny ABA claims as experimental or investigational unless there is a basis for
determining that for a specific patient. The division will examine IRO decisions regarding ASD
treatments including ABA therapy to determine if insurers are denying ABA claims on grounds
not permitted by law.

III.
Enforcement
An insurer’s denial of coverage on a basis prohibited by this bulletin may subject the insurer to
enforcement measures for violation of the Oregon Insurance Code.

This bulletin is dated the 14th of November, 2014, at Salem, Oregon.
