Abstract
Medicaid is the largest source of public health insurance in the U.S. In 2018, Medicaid provided public health insurance for 97 million low-income citizens in the U.S. including 9 million people with disabilities of all ages. In 2020, nearly one in every five people in the U.S. were ensured by Medicaid. Medicaid is important for autistic people and their family members. Yet, we know that autistic people and their families face difficulties navigating the process to enroll in Medicaid and then accessing the services Medicaid covers. While there are many publications that explain basic facts about Medicaid, and information about Medicaid for autistic individuals, few focus on the how autistic people use this public insurance or on what services Medicaid covers for children, youth, and adults on the autism spectrum. This report explores these topics using data from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) from 2008-2016.
