We’re excited to announce that BlueSprig is now welcoming families covered by New Mexico Medicaid in our El Paso East and West centers! This inclusion means access to our comprehensive services for individuals diagnosed with autism or those considered at risk for an autism diagnosis. Through a thorough process involving a Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation (CDE) and an Individual Service Plan (ISP), carried out by a state-approved Autism Evaluation Professional (AEP), we ensure that our approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual. This pivotal development means more families than ever before can access the care and support they deserve, without the worry of coverage.
For families with younger children who might be ‘at risk’ of autism, we have good news. New Mexico Medicaid covers time-limited ABA services for children as young as 12 months who do not meet the full criteria for autism but show developmental delays and certain characteristics of the disorder. This includes those with genetic risk factors such as an older sibling diagnosed with ASD or a diagnosis of Fragile X syndrome. This early intervention can be crucial in supporting the development and well-being of at-risk children, laying a stronger foundation for their future.
To begin this journey with BlueSprig, initial assessments can proceed without prior authorization, streamlining the process for families. All that’s required to get started is the completion of either a CDE or an At-Risk targeted assessment, alongside an ISP and a referral or recommendation for a Stage 2 ABA Assessment from an AEP. This simplified pathway means quicker access to our evidence-based, personalized ABA therapy services for children and adults over 21 covered by New Mexico Medicaid, empowering them towards brighter, more fulfilling futures.
