However these laws are not applicable to companies who are ˇ°self-insuredˇ± that are governed by federal laws. Knowing this, one of the three acts established a $15 million dollar insurance fund to reimburse self-funded insurance companies and encourage them to provide autism coverage. MSU is one of the ˇ°self-insuredˇ± company, who has the option to or not to adopt the coverage.

I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free (you can skip the donation part) and takes just a few seconds of your time.
