Medicaid for Educators

Medicaid for Educators

In financially stressful times, funding support through the Medicaid School-based Administrative Outreach and Direct Service programs are very helpful. Diligent work by our local district staff generates over $5 million in Medicaid reimbursements annually.

We have created a Medicaid School Services Program Guide for Staff Documentation. The guide provides an overview of Medicaid and related responsibilities for new and experienced staff with the information needed to understand, support, and bill Medicaid through Direct Care Services.

Contact us to request a copy of the guide and any of the other documents below.
