What’s available in Newport
In-home and telehealth aren't a compromise here
The nearest city of 50,000 or more is South Burlington, about 59 miles from Newport. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care. A plan built around your home — with telehealth carrying the parent coaching between visits — is the right answer here, not the fallback.

Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Vermont Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Vermont, and Vermont’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.
