Bill > S794

This bill aims to expand MassHealth reimbursement for schools. Key provisions include: 1) Replacing the term "local government entity" with "local educational authority" in the existing law, which allows schools to receive MassHealth reimbursement for providing services to eligible students. 2) Requiring that any MassHealth reimbursement obtained by a local educational agency must be used to fund school-based services and related administrative activities, and cannot be used to supplant existing or planned school health funding. 3) Allowing schools to seek MassHealth reimbursement for providing services to eligible students, regardless of whether the student has an individualized education program or other specialized plan.
