School Based Medicaid Services
MEDICAID Reimbursement
The goal of the Medicaid School Based Services program at the Monroe County ISD is to assist all districts in recovering as much of the cost of providing special education services to Medicaid eligible children as possible.
School Based Services is a program compromised of two components (1) Direct Service and (2) Administrative Outreach. Monroe County participates in both of these programs. Under Direct Service, Medicaid reimburses schools for health care services provided to Medicaid Eligible student in Special Education and/or Early On. Under the Administrative Outreach Program, schools with staff who provide activities to assist the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) in "finding" potential Medicaid eligible students, are reimbursed for the administrative costs associated with these activities.

Administrative Outreach Program
The Administrative Outreach Program receives partial reimbursement for the administrative costs to identify and help students who are considered "at risk" for various health problems and direct them toward proper resources.
This program generates revenue by tracking the time spent on Outreach activities by school personnel, and by factoring the district's expense for staff providing these services.
School personnel chosen in the random moment sample are expected to complete their time study. Failure to do so affects the administrative portion of the state-wide reimbursement.
