I am hereby requesting that _________ assume financial responsibility for

pursuant to AB88, Health and Safety Code Section 137.72.
This Code Section provides that “(a) every health care service plan
contract issued, amended or renewed on or after July 1, 2000, that provides
hospital, medical, or surgical coverage for the diagnosis and medically
necessary treatment of severe mental illnesses of a persona of any age and of
serious emotional disturbances or a child, as specified in subdivisions (D) (E),
under the same terms and conditions applied to other medical conditions, as
specified in subdivision (C) .......(C) the terms and conditions applied to the
benefits required by this section, that shall be applied equally to all benefits
under the plan contract, shall include, but not be limited to, the
following........(7) Pervasive developmental disorder or autism”.
Enclosed
please find the following documents:
i.e.

future expected recovery and would permanently impact ______’s long term
progress.
If you have
any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me

sensitive nature of this request, I would appreciate an immediate response.
Sincerely;
Mother
or Father of _____________________.
