What’s available in Memphis
Every setting is realistic here
Memphis is itself a city of 610,000, 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
Memphis is most of Shelby County — roughly 67% of the county's 910,530 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. TennCare covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Tennessee, and Tennessee’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.
