The nearest city of 50,000 or more is Morgantown, about 52.7 miles from Paden. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care.

Which rules apply to you
Paden spreads across 2 counties, and most of it sits in Wetzel County. That matters more than it sounds: county lines can decide which offices, school district, and local Medicaid contacts you deal with, so it's worth confirming which county your address actually falls in.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. West Virginia Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in West Virginia, and West 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.
