The nearest city of 50,000 or more is West Des Moines, about 45.4 miles from Creston. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care.

Which rules apply to you
Creston is most of Union County — roughly 62% of the county's 11,955 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Iowa Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Iowa, and Iowa’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.
