What’s available in Rochester
Every setting is realistic here
Rochester is itself a city of 120,000, which means centers, in-home routes, school collaboration and telehealth are all live options rather than theoretical ones. In a place this size the constraint is almost never whether a service exists — it's capacity at any given moment, and that's exactly what we check on the first call.

Which rules apply to you
Rochester is most of Olmsted County — roughly 74% of the county's 166,424 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Minnesota Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Minnesota, and Minnesota’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.
