What’s available in Newport News
Every setting is realistic here
Newport News is itself a city of 180,000, 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
Newport News is most of Newport News city — roughly 100% of the county's 183,056 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.
