Bill Summary

Relative to MassHealth reimbursements to local educational authorities. Education.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to expand MassHealth (the state's Medicaid program) reimbursements to local educational authorities for providing direct nursing services, administrative activities, and other medical benefits to school-age children who are eligible for MassHealth. The bill defines key terms such as "administrative activities," "local education authority," "direct nursing services," and "individualized education program." It requires the state's Executive Office of Health and Human Services and Executive Office of Education to ensure that local education authorities enrolled as MassHealth providers implement plans to obtain reimbursements for these services. The bill also allows local education authorities to submit claims for reimbursement and requires them to use the proceeds to fund their school health services programs.
