Medicaid for Schools

Medicaid for Schools is a program that helps support the health and well-being of students by providing funding for services like school-based health care, mental health, and disability-related needs. It allows schools to access federal and state funds to cover costs for healthcare services delivered on school grounds or related to students' learning and development. This program aims to ensure students receive necessary medical and mental health support, which can improve attendance, behavior, and academic performance. Participation requires coordination between schools and Medicaid providers, following specific rules to use the funds appropriately for student health services.
