What’s available in Erie
In-home and telehealth aren't a compromise here
The nearest city of 50,000 or more is Joplin, about 53.2 miles from Erie. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care. A plan built around your home — with telehealth carrying the parent coaching between visits — is the right answer here, not the fallback.

Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Kansas Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Kansas, and Kansas’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.
