Answer:
Welcome to the School-Based Medicaid webpage. We acknowledge
that School-Based Medicaid services and billing can be complicated and
confusing to understand and implement.
The purpose of this webpage is to provide information, resources,
clarification, and training to better help you serve your students with
disabilities and support your staff.
This webpage has seven sections:
What’s New – This section includes new information as it becomes
available. Check this section frequently
to learn about any exciting news or upcoming events. Information in this section will move into
other relevant sections as it ages.
Clarification Form – Use this form to ask questions, seek
clarification, or share thoughts and suggestions regarding School-Based
Medicaid and/or associated IDAPA rules. Specific details regarding how to use the Clarification Form are
described in that section.
Clarifications – Here is where you can learn from each other’s questions. This section contains responses to the questions and issues submitted on Clarification Forms. Clarifications appear in chronological order, with the most recent at the top. You can sort clarifications by topic or use the search window to find something specific. Consider browsing the Clarifications section before submitting your own Clarification Form because one of your peers may have already asked your question. However, do not hesitate to submit your own Clarification Form if you cannot find an answer to your question or issue in this section.
Links – This section includes links to School-Based
Medicaid resources.
Resources -
This is where you will find the Idaho Medicaid School-Based Services Reference Guide, meeting minutes and handouts associated with the Medicaid Advisory Committee and the Interagency Student Services Support Committee, sample forms, trainings, and other documents related to Medicaid School-Based Services.
The Department of Health and Welfare, Division of Medicaid,
and the State Department of Education come together quarterly in the
School-Based Medicaid Advisory Committee. These meetings are necessary to
facilitate better communication between school districts (School-Based Medicaid
providers), Medicaid policy makers, and the the Office of Medicaid Program Integrity Unit (MPIU). This
committee meets to address changes in School-Based Medicaid IDAPA rules,
discuss audit findings and ways to make practice corrections, and provide
clarification to districts on School-Based Medicaid policies and procedures. Quarterly meeting agendas, meeting minutes,
and other supporting documents are located in the
Documents section of
this webpage.
