What’s available in Hereford
In-home usually starts sooner than the drive is worth

Which rules apply to you
Hereford is most of Deaf Smith County — roughly 80% of the county's 18,495 residents live inside the city limits. In practice, the county's coverage picture is your coverage picture.
Coverage itself is set statewide, not locally. Texas Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA for eligible children anywhere in Texas, and Texas’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.
