What’s available in Charlotte
Every setting is realistic here
Charlotte is itself a city of 940,000, 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
Charlotte is most of Mecklenburg County — roughly 78% of the county's 1,206,285 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. North Carolina Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in North Carolina, and North Carolina’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.
