Which rules apply to you
Liberal is most of Seward County — roughly 90% of the county's 21,276 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.
