Which rules apply to you

Owatonna is most of Steele County — roughly 71% of the county's 37,434 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.
