What’s available in Richmond
In-home usually starts sooner than the drive is worth
The nearest city of any size is Sterling Heights, roughly 21.2 miles away. That's a real trip twice a day, and for most families in Richmond it means in-home ABA starts sooner and sticks better — with a center added later only if peer goals become the priority.

Which rules apply to you
Richmond spreads across 2 counties, and most of it sits in Macomb County. That matters more than it sounds: county lines can decide which offices, school district, and local Medicaid contacts you deal with, so it's worth confirming which county your address actually falls in.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Michigan Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Michigan, and Michigan’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.
