Title 24 - EDUCATION
Article 24:14 - Early intervention program
Chapter 24:14:04 - Financial matters
Section 24:14:04:04.06 - Use of private insurance - Parental refusal to consent
Early intervention services, as specified in the child's IFSP and to which the parent has consented, may not be denied due to a parent's refusal to allow the parent's or child's private insurance to be billed for such services. Parents may refuse to allow providers to bill their or their child's private insurance if they are concerned about the potential impact on their private health insurance, such as an increase in premiums or the lifetime cap.
If a parent refuses access to the parent's or the child's private insurance, the Part C program shall still provide early intervention services to the child as specified on the IFSP at no cost to parents.
