Medicaid for School Staff
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.
New Staff Documentation Guide
We are excited to launch our newly developed Medicaid School Services Program Guide for Staff Documentation. This guide provides an overview of Medicaid and related responsibilities for new and experienced staff with the information needed in understanding, supporting, and billing for Medicaid through Direct Care Services (DCS formally SBS/School Based Services) and Caring 4 Students.
