A Local Service Plan is submitted to these agencies and is used to define how the reimbursed funds will be spent to provide new or expanded health services.

 

The Medicaid Reimbursement Program is the responsibility of the Health Services and is administered by the Director of Health Services with the assistance of the Director of Finance. Additional team members assigned by the District Nurse include a financial officer and coordinator, plus staff as needed.

 

Billing can be submitted for special education students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or Individualized Family Services Plan (IFSP) and who are eligible for the month in which services were provided. The procedure will include the following components:

 

• A signed consent. It will include the following statement that is signed and dated annually by the parent/guardian  

 

All ongoing health and related services shall be rendered by qualified district staff pursuant to an individual health services plan signed by a professional qualified to provide the types of services described in the plan.  The plan may be an Individual Education Plan (IEP), Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP), Section 504 Accommodation Plan, or any individual health services plan.
