Medicaid in Schools Program

The Medicaid in Schools Program allows schools to receive federal funding by billing Medicaid for certain health-related services provided to eligible students. This can include services like speech therapy, physical therapy, and mental health services. The program aims to ensure that students receive necessary health care while at school, supporting their educational success. Schools can use the funds to improve health services and resources, ultimately benefiting students who require assistance to thrive academically and socially. Eligibility is based on the student's enrollment in Medicaid and the specific services provided by the school.
