Insurance Group Asks States to Include Vision Care

"The National Association of Specialty Health Organizations is calling on state and federal officials to consider insurance for vision care, dental, physical therapy and other services when drafting rules for health insurance exchanges for small businesses and individuals," goes the post on InsuranceNewsNet. "The Affordable Care Act did not specifically address these services, with some exceptions for dentistry and eye care for children, so specialty providers want to ensure they have a role in the exchanges now being formed. The association sought to bring attention to its members' services, including hearing, pharmacy benefit management, behavioral health, chiropractic and radiology management, in a letter to members of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' Health Insurance and Managed Care Exchanges Subgroup."
