Which rules apply to you
Clarksdale is most of Coahoma County — roughly 69% of the county's 20,105 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Mississippi Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Mississippi, and Mississippi’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.
