The nearest city of 50,000 or more is Suffolk, about 49.9 miles from Emporia. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care.

Which rules apply to you
Emporia is most of Emporia city — roughly 100% of the county's 5,402 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.
