Which rules apply to you
Colby is most of Thomas County — roughly 71% of the county's 7,802 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.

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.
