Caring for A Loved One
with Autism or Other Developmental Disability

If you are caring for a family member with a developmental disability, Pfizer benefits can help.

Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy

If you are enrolled in a U.S. Pfizer Medical Plan, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services are available with pre-authorization through the Plan’s mental health coverage. Regardless of whether your ABA provider is in-network or out-of-network, contact your medical plan administrator to pre-authorize services for the covered family member who has already been diagnosed with an autism.

Pfizer Medical Coverage for Rethink

If you are enrolled in the U.S. Pfizer Medical Plan, you and your covered family members have access to Rethink. Rethink is a web-based resource available to help you access treatment and advocacy resources if you have a child with autism or other developmental disability. It includes 24/7 access to learn the basics of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and up to six hours of phone or video call sessions, per year, with a Rethink behavioral expert. An autism diagnosis is not required to access these services.
