What’s available in Covington

Which rules apply to you
Covington is most of Covington city — roughly 100% of the county's 5,663 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Virginia Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Virginia, and Virginia’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.
