Which rules apply to you
Hollister is most of San Benito County — roughly 65% of the county's 69,159 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Medi-Cal covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in California, and California’s autism insurance law reaches private plans issued in the state. Your address changes which providers can reach you — it doesn’t change whether you’re covered.
