The purpose of the Medicaid Office is to generate funds to offset the cost of special education by billing Medicaid for allowable services. The recovery cost of medically related services is billed for children who meet Medicaid guidelines.
The Medicaid funds are used to offset health care services currently provided by the schools. Health related services that are reimbursable from Medicaid are identified in a student's Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP). These services include speech pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing, audiology, social work, counseling and psychological services for screening, evaluation, and treatment services. The school system is also allowed to bill Medicaid for case management and transportation services for Medicaid eligible students with IEPs. |
