Which rules apply to you
Basalt spreads across 2 counties, and most of it sits in Eagle County. That matters more than it sounds: county lines can decide which offices, school district, and local Medicaid contacts you deal with, so it's worth confirming which county your address actually falls in.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Colorado Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Colorado, and Colorado’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.
