Do you have BCBS-MI insurance?
The autism diagnosis must be obtained at an Approved Autism Evaluation Center (AAEC). The only AAEC located in the UP is in Marquette. Request for your pediatrician to send a referral to this location and you will receive a packet in the mail to fill out. Once, they receive the packet back, you will be called to schedule an appointment.
