What it does
Expansion of Medicaid services for students at public schools; certain platforms, surveys, and analyses; report. Requires the Department of Education to enter into one or more statewide contracts with providers of a platform for Medicaid billing for reimbursable services rendered at school sites that any school board may utilize at no cost to facilitate, track, and coordinate such billing. The bill requires the Department of Education to survey each local school division to determine which school divisions bill Medicaid for reimbursable services rendered at school sites, the types of services that are billed, and the amounts for which such services are billed and to report its findings to the Chairmen of the House Committee on Education, the Senate Committee on Education and Health, and the School Health Services Committee no later than August 1, 2025.
More detail
The bill also requires the School Health Services Committee to collaborate with local school divisions and such other stakeholders as it deems necessary to identify barriers to Medicaid billing for reimbursable services rendered at school sites in each local school division, with a particular focus on local school divisions in which such Medicaid billing is unutilized or underutilized.
