Oklahoma Medicaid cuts threaten autism care for children | Opinion

More than 22,000 Oklahomans under age 21 have autism spectrum disorder and are enrolled in Medicaid. They are among the more than 2.3 million U.S. children who are affected by autism. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in 31 children has an autism diagnosis. Although those numbers may seem alarming, they also reflect increased autism awareness, improved screening and advances in diagnostic and clinical practices. There is far greater understanding of autism today than even a decade ago. As a result, children can be diagnosed sooner, allowing for earlier intervention and potentially, better therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, coordinated care between diagnostic providers and evidence-based therapy providers results in improved access to care so that children with autism can thrive. Autism is a complex disorder. One child with autism cannot be compared with another. The best autism care is individualized to each child rather than "one size fits all." Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is one evidence-based therapy that can help children develop important skills and reduce harmful behaviors. Children with autism can also benefit from other types of therapy, like speech, occupational, physical and feeding therapy, to name a few. The appropriate combination and intensity of services varies

Reliable Medical enters three new states

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Reliable Medical has acquired Action Seating & Mobility, a Tulsa, Okla.-based provider of complex rehab technology (CRT) with locations in Oklahoma, Colorado and Arkansas. The deal marks Reliable’s first foray into the three states. “(Action Seating & Mobility founder Mike Harris) has built something special in Action – a business people trust because of how it treats them, not just what it sells them,” said Charles Sargeant, CEO of Reliable. “Bringing that team into Reliable opens up real growth potential for us across Oklahoma, Arkansas and Colorado.” Reliable Medical partnered with Gauge Capital earlier this year to access growth capital and recapitalize the business. Founded in 2007, Action Seating & Mobility has grown into one of the leading CRT providers in the region, Reliable Medical says. “Since we started Action, our focus has always been on being responsive to the patients and referral partners who depend on us,” said Harris. “Reliable shares that same commitment to patients, and this partnership gives our team more resources to keep growing without losing what makes Action different.”
