What’s available in Kaplan
In-home usually starts sooner than the drive is worth

Louisiana Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Louisiana, and Louisiana’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.
