Which rules apply to you
Rugby is most of Pierce County — roughly 63% of the county's 3,853 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 Dakota Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in North Dakota, and North Dakota’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.
