Why are school districts billing Medicaid?
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) allows certain services provided under an Individualized Education Program (IEP) to be covered by Medicaid. Medicaid funds help pay for the costs of providing these services.School districts can only bill for health-related services that are outlined in the student’s IEP. In general, services for which school districts may bill Medicaid are: audiologist services, evalua-tion and testing, nursing services, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, psy-chological services and social work services.
