What’s available in Hays
In-home and telehealth aren't a compromise here
The nearest city of 50,000 or more is Wichita, about 135.1 miles from Hays. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care. A plan built around your home — with telehealth carrying the parent coaching between visits — is the right answer here, not the fallback.

Which rules apply to you
Hays is most of Ellis County — roughly 73% of the county's 29,007 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Kansas Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Kansas, and Kansas’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.
