Medicaid in Schools

Medicaid in Schools refers to a program that allows public schools to receive federal funding to support health services for eligible students, particularly those with disabilities or special needs. Schools can bill Medicaid for costs associated with providing healthcare services, such as therapy, counseling, and medication management, that students may require during the school day. This funding helps schools enhance their health support systems while reducing costs for local education agencies, ultimately benefiting students by improving access to necessary health services within the school environment.
