GM establishes benefits coverage to treat autism spectrum disorder

General Motors’ health plan for active salaried employees now offers benefit coverage for certain services used to treat autism spectrum disorder. The coverage, which took effect July 1, 2013, is for eligible dependents up to age 18.

These benefits will be covered by both Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and ValueOptions®. Blue Cross will handle payments for services related to physical, occupational, speech and nutritional therapies. ValueOptions will handle mental health services.

GM employees will be subject to deductibles, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums for these services.

To verify what is covered under GM’s mental health benefits, please call ValueOptions at 1-800-235-2302.
