Which rules apply to you
Buckeye Lake spreads across 2 counties, and most of it sits in Licking County. That matters more than it sounds: county lines can decide which offices, school district, and local Medicaid contacts you deal with, so it's worth confirming which county your address actually falls in.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. 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.
