Brief Report: Quantifying the Impact of Autism Coverage on Private Insurance Premiums / James N. BOUDER in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39-6 (June 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 39-6 (June 2009) . - p.953-957 Titre : Brief Report: Quantifying the Impact of Autism Coverage on Private Insurance Premiums Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : James N. BOUDER, Auteur ; David S. MANDELL, Auteur ; Stuart SPIELMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.953-957 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Health-services Insurance Autistic-disorder Economics Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many states are considering legislation requiring private insurance companies to pay for autism-related services. Arguments against mandates include that they will result in higher premiums. Using Pennsylvania legislation as an example, which proposed covering services up to $36,000 per year for individuals less than 21 years of age, this paper estimates potential premium increases. The estimate relies on autism treated prevalence, the number of individuals insured by affected plans, mean annual autism expenditures, administrative costs, medical loss ratio, and total insurer revenue. Current treated prevalence and expenditures suggests that premium increases would approximate 1%, with a lower bound of 0.19% and an upper bound of 2.31%. Policy makers can use these results to assess the cost-effectiveness of similar legislation.

Comparison of Scores on the Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder, Childhood Autism Rating Scale, and Gilliam Asperger’s Disorder Scale for Children with Low Functioning Autism, High Functioning Autism, Asperger’s Disorder, ADHD, and Typical Developm / Susan DICKERSON MAYES in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39-12 (December 2009)

The instruments were the Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder (designed for children with LFA and HFA), Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) for children with LFA, and Gilliam Asperger’s Disorder Scale (GADS). For children with LFA or ADHD, classification accuracy was 100% for the Checklist and 98% for the CARS clinician scores. For children with HFA or ADHD, classification accuracy was 99% for the Checklist and 93% for the GADS clinician scores. Clinician–parent diagnostic agreement was high (90% Checklist, 90% CARS, and 84% GADS).

Use of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) for Children With High Functioning Autism or Asperger Syndrome / Susan DICKERSON MAYES in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 27-1 (March 2012)

This study determined that a cutoff score of 25.5 was most accurate in differentiating between high functioning autism or Asperger syndrome (HFA; n = 197) and ADHD (n = 74) in a sample of 1- to 16-year-olds with IQs of 80 or higher. Classification accuracy was 96% using clinician scores and 72% using parent scores. Children with LFA (n = 193) had significantly higher clinician and parent scores than children with HFA, and scores were negatively correlated with IQ. None of the typical children (n = 64) earned parent scores greater than 21.
