Which rules apply to you
Burwell is most of Garfield County — roughly 60% of the county's 1,707 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Nebraska Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Nebraska, and Nebraska’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.
