In-home and telehealth aren't a compromise here
The nearest city of 50,000 or more is Pittsburgh, about 48.3 miles from Bridgeport. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care. A plan built around your home — with telehealth carrying the parent coaching between visits — is the right answer here, not the fallback.

Ohio Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Ohio, and Ohio’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.
