Correction to: Maternal and Child Health Journal (2017) 21(2):351–366 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10995-016-2120-z

The original version of this article unfortunately contained a mistake in the analysis of the Tables 4 and 5. All analyses were conducted based on information regarding insurance mandates for autism that were extracted in 2012 and then continued updating Table 5 (state mandates) up to 2016 when the manuscript got published. Therefore, information of insurance mandate got updated to reflect the most recent changes in autism mandate in several states. The main analysis (Table 4) has been rerun, including Wisconsin as a mandate state and excluding Connecticut, Kansas, and Kentucky. However, there is no change in the results. The Tables 4 and 5 are corrected with this correction.
