Which rules apply to you
Lamar is most of Prowers County — roughly 64% of the county's 11,957 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
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.
