What’s available in Austin
In-home usually starts sooner than the drive is worth
The nearest city of any size is Rochester, roughly 34.3 miles away. That's a real trip twice a day, and for most families in Austin 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
Austin is most of Mower County — roughly 65% of the county's 40,900 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Minnesota Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Minnesota, and Minnesota’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.
