ASR Health Benefits administers employer-funded health plans. In May 2026 it announced its new name, Health Alliance TPA by Henry Ford Health. The announcement says the name change does not change member coverage, benefits or provider networks. This guide keeps the ASR Health Benefits name used on existing cards and payer records.
Verify ABA benefits for the specific employer group. The administrator name or network logo alone does not establish coverage, medical-necessity criteria or prior-authorization requirements.
ASR lists its Claims Department for provider claims or benefits questions: (800) 968-2449 or (616) 957-1751. These are not verified prior-authorization numbers. Ask which department or vendor handles ABA authorization for this employer group.[2]
Provider phone hours, the eligibility portal and ABA authorization contacts have not been verified for this guide. Confirm them before relying on a contact route.[2]
ASR lists multiple provider networks. Confirm the network printed on the member card and participation for this plan; network participation does not establish which ABA policy the employer group uses.[4]
The clinical policy above is national, but three state-level layers change what a family's card actually buys: the state autism mandate (what fully-insured plans must cover), the carrier's state Medicaid plans (which follow the state Medicaid rules, not this commercial policy), and plan funding type (self-funded ERISA plans can carve benefits differently).

The questions that decide whether a family can start with ASR Health Benefits, and what they have to bring. Each maps onto something intake should ask on the first call.
Plan-dependent - confirm any age limit in the employer plan document.[1][2]
Ask the plan: Obtain the employer group plan document and confirm its ABA requirements with ASR Claims Department at (800) 968-2449 or (616) 957-1751.
Coverage depends on the employer group plan. Obtain its plan document and confirm ABA coverage, diagnosis requirements and authorization before scheduling services.
ASR announced its rebrand to Health Alliance TPA by Henry Ford Health in May 2026. The announcement says member coverage, benefits and provider networks are unchanged by the name change.
