AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 18 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO HEALTH COVERAGE FOR SPEECH THERAPY.

Parents are paying out of pocket for their children’s speech therapy for diagnosed phonological disorder and receptive language disorder since these 2 diagnoses are not covered under individual and group health plans. This Act would require speech therapy for these 2 developmentally delayed speech diagnoses for a child from age 1 until the earlier of age 6 or when the child is enrolled in first grade.
