What’s available in New Orleans
Every setting is realistic here
New Orleans is itself a city of 360,000, which means centers, in-home routes, school collaboration and telehealth are all live options rather than theoretical ones. In a place this size the constraint is almost never whether a service exists — it's capacity at any given moment, and that's exactly what we check on the first call.

Which rules apply to you
New Orleans is most of Orleans Parish — roughly 100% of the county's 362,701 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Louisiana Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Louisiana, and Louisiana’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.
