Gabriel Rosenberg Dyspraxia/DCD Coverage Act

This legislative proposal mandates the Comptroller General of the United States to undertake a detailed study concerning the insurance coverage of dyspraxia/developmental coordination disorder (DCD). This comprehensive study will investigate coverage across a broad spectrum of health plans, including group health plans, individual health insurance, and various federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The Comptroller General is required to submit a report detailing the findings of this study to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment. The report must include specific information such as the extent of current coverage, the types of services generally covered, and any age cutoffs or barriers to accessing care. It will also assess compliance with existing health plan requirements and analyze whether changes in diagnostic criteria lead to a loss of coverage for adults with DCD. Furthermore, the study is tasked with providing recommendations for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to issue guidance and for private health plans to improve their coverage of DCD-related items and services.
