(December 5, 2017, 1:09 PM EST) -- SEATTLE — A Washington federal judge on Nov. 28 denied a motion to dismiss filed by health plan defendants after determining that the health plan may have violated the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 by excluding coverage for two specific types of treatments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) because the plan does not exclude all types of treatments for those diagnosed with ASD (D.T., et al. v. NECA/IBEW Family Medical Care Plan, et al., No. 17-00004, W.D. Wash., 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 195186)....
