Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Pennsylvania Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania’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.
