The state is raising the reimbursement rate for therapists who work with children with autism, after parents complained it was too low. State health officials announcing Monday, they will reimburse providers $31.31 an hour for services provided by registered behavior technicians to children on the Medicaid program. That’s up from the original proposed rate of $29.50, but well below the $40 rate the therapists say they need to see patients. Next year is the first time the behavior based autism therapy will be covered through Medicaid.
