The Department notes that this technical adjustment, required by section 635.2(b) of The Insurance Company Law of 1921, is not expected to affect actual autism coverage in the Commonwealth because insurers are already required to provide autism benefits consistent with federal and state mental health parity laws, including the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and its incorporation into Pennsylvania law in Article VI-B. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacodeandbulletin.gov\/Display\/pabull?file=\/secure\/pabulletin\/data\/vol56\/56-10\/352.html#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to see PA Notice 2026-06<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21607,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"department":[252],"state":[284],"class_list":["post-31042","bulletin","type-bulletin","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","department-department-of-insurance","state-pennsylvania"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resourcepro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bulletin\/31042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resourcepro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bulletin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resourcepro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/bulletin"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.resourcepro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bulletin\/31042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31123,"href":"https:\/\/www.resourcepro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bulletin\/31042\/revisions\/31123"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resourcepro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resourcepro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"department","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resourcepro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/department?post=31042"},{"taxonomy":"state","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resourcepro.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/state?post=31042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
