On January 1, 2010 the Federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPA) will be enforced in the state of Georgia and other states.  This act may be of interest to individuals with developmental learning disabilities such as dyslexia and dysgraphia.  You can obtain detailed information about this act from your insurer, your employer and on the web but our understanding is that employers  insuring 51 or more employees who offer those employees both medical and mental health benefits have to, in most cases, provide parity in coverage between medical and mental benefits.  In light of this new act we strongly recommend that you investigate the possibility that the evaluation of, an therapy for, dyslexia and or dysgraphia may now be covered under your medical insurance plan.

If you require detailed information on the insurance codes that the Reading & Writing Inst. uses please contact us.
