AI Summary

This bill aims to improve MassHealth provider reimbursement for local education authorities (such as school districts) that provide direct nursing services, administrative activities, and other medical benefits to MassHealth-eligible school-age children. The bill defines these key terms and requires the state to ensure that local education authorities can obtain MassHealth reimbursement for these services, regardless of whether the child has an individualized education program or other plan. The bill also requires that the proceeds from such reimbursements be used to fund school health services programming, including behavioral health assessments, case management, and other related services.
