Which rules apply to you

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.
