Health plans cover dyslexia testing with referral

The law requires health plans that cover doctor or medical services to cover a full neuropsychological exam for dyslexia. A physician must refer you for the test.

Plans cannot exclude screening, diagnosis, or treatment for conditions they otherwise cover. Coverage follows normal plan rules like medical management and using in-network providers.
