In-home and telehealth aren't a compromise here
The nearest city of 50,000 or more is Bismarck, about 101 miles from Minot. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care.

Which rules apply to you
Minot is most of Ward County — roughly 69% of the county's 68,427 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. North Dakota Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in North Dakota, and North Dakota’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.
