In-home and telehealth aren't a compromise here
The nearest city of 50,000 or more is Redding, about 93.2 miles from Fortuna. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care.

Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Medi-Cal covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in California, and California’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.
