AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance MassHealth provider reimbursement for local education authorities (LEAs) that enroll as MassHealth providers. It defines key terms like "administrative activities" and "direct nursing services" that LEAs can seek reimbursement for when providing these services to school-age children who are eligible MassHealth beneficiaries. The bill requires the Executive Offices of Health and Human Services and Education to ensure LEAs implement a plan to obtain MassHealth reimbursement for these services, and allows LEAs to directly submit claims for reimbursement. It also mandates that any reimbursement received by LEAs must be used to fund their school health services programming, including behavioral health, case management, and other related services.
