What’s available in Eldorado
In-home usually starts sooner than the drive is worth

Which rules apply to you
Eldorado is most of Schleicher County — roughly 65% of the county's 2,302 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Texas Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Texas, and Texas’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.
