Methodology This study is a longitudinal, retrospective study using administrative data from Cigna, a leading health care insurance provider in the U.S. Participants (n = 1614, ages 1–61) included individuals diagnosed with an ASD from 2001 to 2006, who had claims for outpatient mental health services. Results Across all age groups, the cost and length variables were lowest for family therapy, followed by individual therapy. Mixed therapy (combination of family and individual therapy) was significantly longer and more costly. Rates of dropout and return to care were lowest for mixed therapy. Dropout was significantly higher for children than for adults or adolescents. Among provider types, social workers had the lowest cost among adolescents and the highest return to care rates among adults and counselors had the longest service length and the lowest dropout rates among children.
